Modulation of piglets’ microbiota: differential effects by a high wheat bran maternal diet during gestation and lactation

Abstract Reaching a beneficial intestinal microbiota early in life is desirable for piglets, as microbiota will impact their future health. One strategy to achieve this is the addition of prebiotics to sows’ diet, as their microbiota will be transferred. Transmission of microbiota to the offspring o...
