Metagenomic Characterization of Intestinal Regions in Pigs With Contrasting Feed Efficiency

Greater feed efficiency (FE) is critical in increasing profitability while reducing the environmental impact of pig production. Previous studies that identified swine FE-associated bacterial taxa were limited in either sampling sites or sequencing methods. This study characterized the microbiomes wi...
