Sulfur-containing amino acids supplementation to gilts from late pregnancy to lactation altered offspring's intestinal microbiota and plasma metabolites

Maternal dietary nutrients during pregnancy, especially during late pregnancy, have been found to improve the fetuses and support a higher fetal growth rate. In addition, maternal diet also affects the growth of offspring piglets and their intestinal microbiota composition. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effects of sulfur-amino acid on piglet's gut microbiota.
