Regulation of conceptus development and attachment in pigs.
Journal of reproduction and fertility. Supplement, 2020 Implantation/placentation in domestic pigs is preceded by synthesis of oestrogen by the conceptus to maintain functional corpora lutea throughout pregnancy and a rapid morphological transformation of conceptuses from spherical to long filamentous thread ...

Ancient pigs reveal a near-complete genomic turnover following their introduction to Europe
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Archaeological evidence indicates that domestic pigs arrived in Europe, alongside farmers from the Near East ∼8,500 y ago, yet mitochondrial genomes of modern European pigs are derived from European wild boars.

Exploring a Possible Link between the Intestinal Microbiota and Feed Efficiency in Pigs
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2017 Feed efficiency (FE) is critical in pig production for both economic and environmental reasons. As the intestinal microbiota plays an important role in energy harvest, it is likely to influence FE.
