Unraveling the Fecal Microbiota and Metagenomic Functional Capacity Associated with Feed Efficiency in Pigs
Gut microbiota plays fundamental roles in energy harvest, nutrient digestion, and intestinal health, especially in processing indigestible components of polysaccharides in diet. Unraveling the microbial taxa and functional capacity of gut microbiome associated with feed efficiency can provide important knowledge to improve pig feed efficiency in swine industry. In the current research, we studi...
متن کاملMetagenomic Analysis of Cecal Microbiome Identified Microbiota and Functional Capacities Associated with Feed Efficiency in Landrace Finishing Pigs
Feed efficiency (FE) appears to vary even within closely related pigs, and may be partly affected by the diversity in the composition and function of gut microbes. To investigate the components and functional differences of gut microbiota of low and high FE pigs, high throughput sequencing and de novo metagenomics were performed on pig cecal contents. Pigs were selected in pairs with low and hi...
متن کاملFecal microbiota transplantation decreases necrotizing enterocolitis but is associated with increased neonatal mortality in preterm pigs
Introduction: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains a common gastrointestinal disease in preterm infants. Inappropriate bacterial colonization of the gut, together with enteral formula feeding, predispose to NEC in both preterm infants and preterm pigs. Regardless, it remains unclear how and when to manipulate the gut microbiota (e.g. by use of pre-, proor antibiotics) to improve mucosal immu...
متن کاملShifts in the Fecal Microbiota Associated with Adenomatous Polyps.
BACKGROUND Adenomatous polyps are the most common precursor to colorectal cancer, the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. We sought to learn more about early events of carcinogenesis by investigating shifts in the gut microbiota of patients with adenomas. METHODS We analyzed 16S rRNA gene sequences from the fecal microbiota of patients with adenomas (n = 233) an...
متن کاملMetagenomic sequencing reveals microbiota and its functional potential associated with periodontal disease
Although attempts have been made to reveal the relationships between bacteria and human health, little is known about the species and function of the microbial community associated with oral diseases. In this study, we report the sequencing of 16 metagenomic samples collected from dental swabs and plaques representing four periodontal states. Insights into the microbial community structure and ...
