Longitudinal Profiling of Gut Microbiota in Piglets from Birth to Weaning (Day 0 to Day 56)
To clarify the development of the intestinal microbiota in piglets from birth through lactation and after weaning, fecal samples were collected at multiple time points and analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing. Piglets were forcibly weaned on Day 21 and fully transitioned to solid feed at that time.
