Interactions between maternal parity and feed additives drive the composition of pig gut microbiomes in the post-weaning period

Interactions between maternal parity and feed additives drive the composition of pig gut microbiomes in the post-weaning period

Abstract Background Nursery pigs undergo stressors in the post-weaning period that result in production and welfare challenges. These challenges disproportionately impact the offspring of primiparous sows compared to those of multiparous counterparts. Little is known regarding potential interactions...
