Jan 8, 2024 · Here, we investigated the gut microbiomes of seven pig breeds using metagenomics and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. We established an expanded gut microbial reference catalog comprising 17 020 160 genes and identified 4910 metagenome-assembled genomes.

Jul 1, 2016 · Disturbances in the gut microbial ecosystem during the rearing of pigs can dramatically increase risk of disease. To meet production goals in the swine industry, piglets are weaned early, before a stable microbial population is established and the immune system is …

Feb 20, 2025 · Porcine gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the health and productive performance of pigs, influencing nutrient absorption, feed conversion efficiency, and ultimately, production profitability. In addition to being the primary site of digestion, the intestine houses the pig’s largest immune organ, where the microbial community is essential ...

Sep 19, 2016 · We show that sex, age and host genetics are likely to influence the pig gut microbiome. Analysis of the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes demonstrated the effect of eliminating...

Dec 15, 2020 · Here, we present a collection of cultured bacteria from the pig gut, including 110 species across 40 families and nine phyla. We provide taxonomic descriptions for 22 novel species and 16...

Mar 1, 2022 · Modulation of intestinal microbiota can lead to immediate and long-term effects on the intestinal health of pigs (Jang et al., 2020a; Schokker et al., 2015).

By analyzing the relative abundances of microbes, we identified three core-predominant gut microbes (Phascolarctobacterium succinatutens, Prevotella copri, and Oscillibacter valericigenes) in pigs used in this study.

Jun 12, 2015 · Pig gut microbial shifts are correlated with animal health and growth performance. The importance of the gut microbiota of animals is widely acknowledged because of its pivotal roles in the health and well being of animals.

Fully understanding the dynamic distribution of the gut microbiota in pigs is essential, as gut microorganisms play a fundamental role in physiological processes, immunity, and the metabolism of nutrients by the host. Here, we first summarize the ...

Here, fecal samples were collected from pigs at 7 different times points from 7 to 140 days of age. These swine fecal metagenomes were used to assemble 1,150 dereplicated metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) that were at least 90% complete and …
