Sow-to-piglet transmission of persistent gut strains using 16S-ITS-23S amplicon sequencing
This study aimed to better characterize sow-to-piglet microbiota transmission and persistence using a long-read metabarcoding approach targeting the 16S-ITS-23S region. Fecal samples were collected from pig families (one sow and three piglets per litter) at multiple stages: late gestation (d110), early (d6) and late lactation (d28) for sows; early lactation (d6), late lactation (d28), and 5 days post-weaning for piglets (n = 204).
