Project description:Seeking to improve feed efficiency in pigs through microbial modulation via fecal microbiota transplantation in sows and dietary supplementation of offspring with inulin
Project description:To further decipher the alteration of gene expression profile of irradiated mice with or without faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), we performed FMT for 10 days following total body irradiaton (6.5 Gy gamma ray). Twenty-one days after irradiation, the mice were euthanized and the small intestine tissues excised.
Project description:in vivo microarray study of transcriptional changes of jejunal scratchings (mucosa) obtained from pigs divergent in feed efficiency.
Project description:in vivo microarray study of transcriptional changes of duodenum scratchings (mucosa) obtained from pigs divergent in feed efficiency.
Project description:in vivo microarray study to detect transcriptional changes in muscle tissue (M. longissimus) derived from pigs divergent in feed efficiency.
Project description:Feed efficiency (FE) is an indicator of efficiency in converting energy from feed into a tissue that is of major environmental and economic significance.This study was to profile the porcine Longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) muscle transcriptome, examine the product quality from pigs divergent in FE and investigate the functional networks underpinning the potential relationship between product quality and FE.
