Association between pig fecal microbiota, performance, and host genotype

English presentation. Pig microbiota, performance and genotype of eight cohorts from Ontario and Quebec were analyzed. Two enterotypes were identified when pigs were 11 days old that were associated with distinct microbiota composition. Pigs in one enterotype had better performance during pre-weaning and growing production stages. A 2-Mb span on Chromosome 13 contains twelve SNVs associated with these enterotypes.
