The potential of microbiota information to better predict efficiency traits in growing pigs fed a conventional and a high-fiber diet

CONCLUSIONS: The microbiota is a relevant source of information to predict DE regardless of the diet, but not to predict growth and FE traits for which prediction accuracies were similar to those obtained with genomic information only. Further analyses on larger datasets and more diverse diets should be carried out to complement and consolidate these results.PMID:38243193 | PMC:PMC10797989 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-023-00865-4
