16S sequencing of gut microbiome of crossbred farm pigs
The objective of the present study was to perform a comprehensive pre-evaluation of the health status of pigs originating from a specific breeding facility, with particular emphasis on the uniformity and similarity of their gut bacteriome. The study included five 4-month-old pigs from a single litter, crossbred pigs (Landrace, Large White), Pietrain). The animals, of both sexes, originated from the herd of the Clinic of Swine, University Veterinary Hospital, University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Kosice (farm register no. AUMK6). The results will form the foundation for the targeted selection of individuals suitable for preclinical kidney transplantation models, with the aim of generating high-quality experimental data and improving the translational relevance of future studies.
