Effects of organic acid-preserved cereal grains in sow diets during late gestation and lactation on the performance and faecal microbiota of sows and their offspring
OA-preserved grains enhanced the CATTD of nutrients in sows, promoted healthier piglet faecal scores during lactation, and improved offspring growth performance post-weaning, potentially linked to beneficial changes observed in the faecal microbiota of sows and their offspring during lactation.
