A Comparative Study of Fiber Apparent Digestibility, Colonic Morphology, and Colonic Microbiota in Xinjiang Black and Large White Pigs
This project investigates fiber digestibility, colonic morphology, and colonic microbiota in Xinjiang Black and Large White pigs. Colonic contents were subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing and quantitative metagenomic sequencing to characterize microbial composition and functional potential associated with fiber utilization. These data provide a resource for studying breed-associated differences in the colonic microbiota and microbial functions related to fiber digestion in pigs.
