A total of 146 bacterial genera were identified with significant differences at the genus level. Functional analysis revealed that the gut microbiota of Yunnan ponies was significantly enriched in pathways related to carbohydrate metabolism and pectin degradation, which are involved in basic energy acquisition. In contrast, Dutch warmblood horses were more enriched in host immune interaction pathways such as Toll-like receptor signaling. Analysis of ARGs indicated that while there was no difference in the overall diversity of ARGs between the two groups. Their association networks with specific bacterial hosts were markedly distinct, and the dominant ARG subtypes differed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides a descriptive characterization of the gut microbiome of Yunnan ponies, offering baseline data for future research on the conservation of this genetic resource and its health management in breeding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2026.1807081","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,5]],"date-time":"2026-06-05T05:36:55Z","timestamp":1780637815000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparative metagenomic analysis of gut microbiomes in Yunnan ponies and Dutch warmblood horses"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Jinlong","family":"Cha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Vocational College of Agriculture","place":["Kunming, China"]},{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine, Yunnan Agricultural University","place":["Kunming, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jieyan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine, Yunnan Agricultural University","place":["Kunming, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zifang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Vocational College of Agriculture","place":["Kunming, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lindong","family":"Qian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Vocational College of Agriculture","place":["Kunming, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fangxiao","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Vocational College of Agriculture","place":["Kunming, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shiyou","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Vocational College of Agriculture","place":["Kunming, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ju","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Vocational College of Agriculture","place":["Kunming, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zonghui","family":"Jian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Vocational College of Agriculture","place":["Kunming, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenjie","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine, Yunnan Agricultural University","place":["Kunming, China"]},{"name":"First People\u2019s Hospital of Kunming City","place":["Kunming, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"D690","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gkac920","article-title":"CARD 2023: Expanded curation, support for machine learning, and resistome prediction at the comprehensive antibiotic resistance database.","volume":"51","author":"Alcock","year":"2023","journal-title":"Nucleic Acids Res."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"108639","DOI":"10.1016\/j.envint.2024.108639","article-title":"Airborne antibiotic resistome and microbiome in pharmaceutical factories.","volume":"186","author":"Bai","year":"2024","journal-title":"Environ.
