Intestinal microbiota in growing pigs: effects of stocking density

This study aimed to assess oxidative stress and microbiota in pigs at different stocking densities. Markers for oxidative stress were investigated and gut bacteria identified. The pigs were randomly assigned to high-, medium- or low-density groups. The results showed that the superoxide dismutase (S...
