This study transplants wild-boar and sow-derived microbiota into piglets to assess their impact on gut microbiota, metabolites, and immune responses, finding that wild-boar microbes colonize more effectively and alter metabolite profiles and cytokine levels.

This study compares the gut microbiota of wild and domestic pigs, finding higher alpha diversity and increased opportunistic genera in domestic pigs, but no loss of microbial species.
