Use of Bayes factors to evaluate the effects of host genetics, litter and cage on the rabbit cecal microbiota
(BMC, 2022-06-27)
Background
The rabbit cecum hosts and interacts with a complex microbial ecosystem that contributes to the variation of traits of economic interest. Although the influence of host genetics on microbial ...
Longitudinal modelling of performance and feed efficiency traits in growing Duroc pigs
(Elsevier, 2022-01-07)
In this study we used the phenotypic information of 1,499 Duroc pigs, recorded longitudinally in the age period from 110 to 200 days of age for individual daily feed intake (DFI), backfat thickness (BF) ...
Breeding farm, level of feeding and presence of antibiotics in the feed influence rabbit cecal microbiota
(BMC, 2020-11-02)
Background
The effect of the production environment and different management practices in rabbit cecal microbiota remains poorly understood. While previous studies have proved the impact of the age or ...
