Animals and their associated microbiota share long evolutionary histories. However, it is not always clear how host genotype and microbiota interact to affect phenotype. We applied a hologenomic approach to explore how host-microbiota interactions shape lifetime growth and parasite infection in f...

Chicken farming is critical for future food security, yet there is still a need for improving animal welfare and optimised feeding strategies. HoloFood will explore the interaction and impact of the microbiome together with the host (animal) in response to different feeding strategies already imp...

BACKGROUND: One-third of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients show no response to infliximab (IFX) induction therapy, and approximately half of patients responding become unresponsive over time. Thus, identification of potential treatment response biomarkers are of great cl...

Testing the effect of blue mussel ensilage as a novel cost-efficient protein feed source for Atlantic salmon feed. Fermentation of novel raw materials for fish feed is a new practice with little prior experience of direct relevance to aquaculture and fish farming. In Trial A, an alternative marin...

Testing the effect of seaweed as a novel cost-efficient feed source for Atlantic salmon feed. Fermentation of novel raw materials for fish feed is a new practice with little prior experience of direct relevance to aquaculture and fish farming. In Trial D, an alternative marine compound is include...

An experimental trial was conducted on juvenile farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the framework of the HoloFood project, which aims to test the effect of novel sustainable feed additives in the feed of farmed salmon. Trial B blue mussel was used as a novel sustainable protein feed source in...

INTRODUCTION: Cholesterol gallstone (CGS) is a biliary tract disorder requiring treatment in approximately 20% of patients. The efficacy of Chaihu Shugan in preventing CGS recurrence after successful treatment remains uncertain.

METHODS: We examined the
