The differences in fecal microbiota between Hezuo pigs and LY pigs
Fresh fecal samples were collected from cooperative pigs (summer semi-pasture-fed group TS, winter semi-pasture-fed group TW, summer pen-fed group TS.y) and LY crossbred pigs. This study conducted comparative analyses of the fecal microbiomes between cooperative pigs and LY crossbred pigs, revealing a higher proportion of Lactobacillus muciniferum in the gut microbiome of cooperative pigs. This strain is known for its antagonistic activity against pathogens.
