microbiome – Swine in Minnesota

The impact of pooling on the observed microbiome profile of preweaned piglet feces

Today, we are sharing a recent publication from the Noyes lab investigating a very popular sampling technique, pooling and the impact it has on resulting microbiome profiles. The article is available in open access on Microbiology Ecology’s website.

Summary: The impacts of viral infection and subsequent antimicrobials on the microbiome-resistome of growing pigs

This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.

The Science Page this week describes a study done by Tara N. Gaire, Carissa Odland, Bingzhou Zhang, Tui Ray, Enrique Doster, Joel Nerem, Scott Dee, Peter Davies and Noelle Noyes and sheds some light on the antimicrobial resistances carried by the pig’s microbiome after disease and treatment.

Effect of Killed PRRSV Vaccine on Gut Microbiota Diversity in Pigs

This is our Friday rubric: every week a new Science Page from the Bob Morrison’s Swine Health Monitoring Project. The previous editions of the science page are available on our website.

Researchers Fangfeng Yuan, Jaishree Sharma, Som G. Nanjappa, Christopher A. Gaulke, and Ying Fang from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign present information on the impact of killed PRRSV vaccine on the gut microbiome in today’s Science Page.

Relationships among Microbial Communities in Pigs

Today, we are sharing a recent article published in the journal Microorganisms by Dr. Valeris-Chacin and the MycoLab. The publication, available in open access, focuses on the relationships among fecal, air, oral, and tracheal microbial communities in pigs.
