Lipids and organic acids in three gut locations affect feed efficiency of commercial pigs as revealed by LC–MS-based metabolomics
Abstract Feed efficiency (FE) is an important economic indicator in pig production. Improving the FE of commercial pigs is an important strategy for minimizing pig production costs and providing sustainability to the pig industry. In this study, nontargeted LC–MS metabolomics was performed on the co...
