Twenty-four Kazakh ram lambs (32.54 \u00b1 5.23 kg) were randomly allocated into four groups, with six replicates per group and one lamb per replicate. The control group was fed a basal diet, while the experimental groups received the basal diet supplemented with 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 kg\/d of TV-PHFS, respectively, for a total duration of 140 days. The findings indicated that basal diet supplementation with TV-PHFS did not exert a statistically significant effect on the growth performance, serum antioxidant indices, and immune indices of Kazakh ram lambs (p &gt; 0.05). However, compared with the control group, supplementation with 0.2 kg\/d of TV-PHFS significantly elevated the 45 min postmortem yellowness (b*) value of the longissimus dorsi muscle and the relative abundance of Prevotellaceae_UCG_003 in the rumen (p &lt; 0.05). Similarly, supplementation with 0.3 kg\/d of TV-PHFS significantly increased the 24 h postmortem lightness (L*) value and crude fat content of the longissimus dorsi muscle, as well as the relative abundances of Treponema and Veillonellaceae_UCG_001 in the rumen (p &lt; 0.05). In conclusion, basal diet supplementation with 0.3 kg\/d of TV-PHFS modulated the rumen microbial community structure, promoted intramuscular fat deposition, improved muscle coloration, and augmented meat quality in Kazakh ram lambs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani16172792","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,7]],"date-time":"2026-09-07T09:23:37Z","timestamp":1788773017000},"page":"2792","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of Trametes versicolor-Pseudostellaria heterophylla Fermented Substrate on Growth Performance, Rumen Function and Meat Quality of Kazakh Lambs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Changzhao","family":"Jin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Biological Feed and Animal Gut Health, College of Animal Science, Xinjiang Agricultural University, Urumqi 830052, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"software","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"formal-analysis","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"data-curation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-original-draft","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"visualization","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"given":"Ayiguli","family":"Abudoukelimu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xinjiang Han Ziran Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Changji 831199, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"resources","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"given":"Zainafuguli","family":"Aishanjiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Biological Feed and Animal Gut Health, College of Animal Science, Xinjiang Agricultural University, Urumqi 830052, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8818-4921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Biological Feed and Animal Gut Health, College of Animal Science, Xinjiang Agricultural University, Urumqi 830052, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"supervision","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"project-administration","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7208-5240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiancheng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Biological Feed and Animal Gut Health, College of Animal Science, Xinjiang Agricultural University, Urumqi 830052, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"formal-analysis","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"project-administration","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"funding-acquisition","vocabulary":"credit"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ahmadzadeh-Gavahan, L., Hosseinkhani, A., Palangi, V., and Lackner, M.
