Aug 30, 2024 · This study utilized 16S rRNA amplicon and metagenomic sequencing to examine seasonal variations in the gut microbiota of Min pigs. Results indicated a significant rise in microbial diversity in winter, with the Bacteroidetes group being the most notably increased.

Apr 27, 2022 · Here we study the effect of host genotype on the composition of the intestinal microbiota in a large mosaic pig population. We show that, under conditions of exacerbated …

Here we study the effect of host genotype on the composition of the intestinal microbiota in a large mosaic pig population. We show that, under conditions of exacerbated genetic diversity and environmental uniformity, microbiota composition and the …

Aug 29, 2024 · Min pigs exhibit remarkable cold tolerance, where vitamin B1 synthesis by gut microbiota is crucial for the host's energy metabolism. However, the role of this synthesis in cold adaptation of Min pigs are not yet fully understood.

Ecological condition: Min Pig is mainly found in Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang provinces and Inner Mongolia region with a few in Hebei province. The distributing area spans Yanshan Mountain to the Heilong River lakefront, Inner Mongolia grassland to Songliao plain. It is one of the important pig breeds of North China Type.

The new sequenced complete mitogenome of Min pig in nucleus herd will provide useful information for application in conservation genetics and evolution for this Near Threatened pig genomes.

Dec 6, 2023 · This study revealed characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Also, we identified immune-related microorganisms.

Min Liu's 8 research works with 69 citations and 1,422 reads, including: Gut bacterial species in late trimester of pregnant sows influence the occurrence of stillborn piglet through pro ...

Objective: Min pigs are a unique genetic resource among local pig breeds in China. They have more excellent characteristics in cold and stress resistance, good meat quality, and a high reproductive rate. However, the genetic structure and driving factors remain unclear in …

Nov 30, 2021 · Min pigs, an indigenous pig species in northern China, were used as experimental subjects. It is not only a good model to explore the genetics underlying economic traits (Wang et al. 2014), but also a good model of studying cold stress.
