Gut transcriptome reveals differential gene expression and enriched pathways linked to immune activation in response to weaning in pigs (2022)
Journal Article
Le Bon, M., Tötemeyer, S., Emes, R. D., & Mellits, K. H. (2022). Gut transcriptome reveals differential gene expression and enriched pathways linked to immune activation in response to weaning in pigs. Frontiers in Genetics, 13, Article 961474. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2022.961474

Weaning represents one of the most critical periods in pig production associated with increase in disease risk, reduction in performance and economic loss. Physiological changes faced by piglets during the weaning period have been well characterised,...

Ovine footrot, is a highly contagious polymicrobial bacterial infection, primarily caused by Dichelobacter nodosus. Preventative bactericidal footbaths are commonly used in the sheep industry to reduce the spread of bacteria. However, their effect on...
