Gut microbiota regulates growth retardation in pigs through their metabolites of taurine and butyric acids
improved pig growth by increasing the concentrations of serum taurine and fecal butyric acid, and was an important biomarker associated with pig growth. This study provided important insights into the effect of the gut microbiome on pig growth retardation.
