Age-related gut microbiota succession in Neijiang pigs: insights for precision feeding and productivity
Our data provide a temporal blueprint of gut microbiota maturation that mirrors host nutrient requirements across growth phases. These microbial indicators and functional signatures can guide stage-specific dietary formulations and microbiota-targeted interventions to improve feed efficiency, reduce environmental emissions and enhance the productivity of indigenous pig breeds.
