Which outcome impairs nutrient absorption when an animal undergoes antibiotic treatment?

💡 Explanation

Antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiome composition, causing a bacterial imbalance called dysbiosis; therefore, reducing the effectiveness of digestion, because the microbiome's metabolic functions are impaired, rather than maintained as homeostasis normally would.
