Probiotic supplementation regulated swine growth performance, fecal odor reduction and carcass characteristics by modulating intestinal microbiome
Administering Bacillus subtilis S14 and B. amyloliquefaciens S20 (SA group) impacted growth performance, reduced fecal odor, and enhanced pig carcass quality. The identified probiotic strains hold promise as feed additives, offering a potential solution to challenges encountered by the swine industry.
