Neonatal mortality is mostly due to a reduced piglet maturity. An essential question for adaptation to extra-uterine environment lies in the optimization of the crosstalk between maternal and fetal genomes for a distribution of resources that allows fetuses to express healthier phenotypes at birt...

NMR metabolomics data of the caecum content from 25-day old rabbits exclusively suckling (milk group) or suckling and ingesting solid food (milk+solid group). The aim of this protocol was to use metabolomics to identify how the ingestion of solid food alters the concentration of metabolites in th...

Together with environmental factors, physiological maturity at birth is a major determinant for neonatal survival and postnatal development in mammalian species. Maturity at birth is the outcome of complex mechanisms of intra-uterine development and maturation during the end of gestation. In pig ...
