Unraveling the role of bacteria with heritable versus non-heritable relative abundance in the gut on boar semen quality [PDF]
Genetics Selection EvolutionBackground The relative abundance of some bacteria in the gut of pigs is heritable, suggesting that host genetics may recursively influence boar semen quality by affecting the composition and function of gut microbiota.
