This study examines how barn disinfection practices and chicken age affect the gut microbiome and resistome in broilers, finding age has a stronger impact than sanitation methods.

The paper uses metabolic modeling of chicken cecal microbiomes to show how Bacteroides fragilis influences community metabolism and how its absence leads to functional reconfiguration and disease-like profiles.

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.
