Article Synopsis
- Maternal health and the microbial environment during birth significantly shape the microbiomes of piglets, with different cleaning methods in delivery rooms affecting microbial exposure.
- Research found that piglets born in disinfected environments had lower bacterial diversity and distinct microbiome compositions compared to those born in nondisinfected environments.
- While higher microbial exposure in nondisinfected environments aligned with increased diversity, it also correlated with lower piglet weights, emphasizing the need to balance microbiome development and growth performance in swine farming.
