Modeling host-microbiome interactions for the prediction of meat quality and carcass composition traits in swine

Abstract Background The objectives of this study were to evaluate genomic and microbial predictions of phenotypes for meat quality and carcass traits in swine, and to evaluate the contribution of host-microbiome interactions to the prediction. Data were collected from Duroc-sired three-way crossbred...
