Dietary Organic Acids Modulate Gut Microbiota and Improve Growth Performance of Nursery Pigs

Dietary Organic Acids Modulate Gut Microbiota and Improve Growth Performance of Nursery Pigs

Feed additives have been suggested to improve animal growth performance through modulating the gut microbiota. The hypothesis of this study was that the combination of two organic acids would exert synergistic effects on the growth performance and gut microbiota of weaning pigs. To test this hypothe...
