Unraveling the role of bacteria with heritable versus non-heritable relative abundance in the gut on boar semen quality
Our findings underscore the substantial role of the relative abundance of heritable gut bacteria in shaping porcine semen quality through SCFAs mediation. These results highlight the potential of targeted microbiome interventions to enhance reproductive traits in pigs.
