Characterization of the gut microbiome in Wuhuang pigs and their crossbred offspring
These results imply that hybrid animals leverage enriched probiotic consortia to augment nutrient metabolism and immune function, thereby supporting improved stress resilience and feed efficiency. This study provides potential microbial targets for the future genetic improvement of indigenous pig breeds.
