The potential of microbiota information to better predict efficiency traits in growing pigs fed a conventional and a high-fiber diet

Abstract Background Improving pigs’ ability to digest diets with an increased dietary fiber content is a lever to improve feed efficiency and limit feed costs in pig production. The aim of this study was to determine whether information on the gut microbiota and host genetics can contribute to predi...
