The effect of low protein-high carbohydrate diet on gut microbiota composition and metabolomics profile of a piglet model

The growth performance in pigs can be altered by the proportion of crude proteins included in their diet. Reduced crude protein in the diet is known to cause low growth performance. However, the underlying mechanisms that give rise to this observation are not yet well understood. The current study attempts to address this research gap via the study of plasma metabolomic profile and fecal microbiota composition of weaned pigs under low protein-high carbohydrate dietary conditions.

猪的生长性能可通过其饮食中粗蛋白的比例进行调节。已知饮食中粗蛋白含量降低会导致生长性能下降。然而，引发此现象的潜在机制尚不明确。当前研究旨在通过研究断奶猪在低蛋白-高碳水化合物饮食条件下的血浆代谢组学特征和粪便微生物组成，来填补这一研究空白。
