Does pre-weaning mixing and/or object enrichment improve piglet behaviour, welfare, and performance around weaning?

, 2023
While abrupt weaning is a common practice in commercial swine barns, it subjects piglets to numerous changes at once which is often associated with negative welfare.

Integrated Metabolomics and Gut Microbiota Analysis Reveal the Intestinal Stress Response of Juvenile Four‐Finger Threadfin (Eleutheronema tetradactylum) to Nitrite Exposure

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
Nitrite exposure induces intestinal stress in juvenile Eleutheronema tetradactylum, characterized by microbial dysbiosis, metabolic reprogramming, and altered digestive enzyme activities. Integrated metabolomics and microbiota analyses reveal coordinated hostmicrobe responses involving key pathways such as ABC transporters and amino acid metabolism ...

Nutritional influences on gut physiology and microflora in the post-weaned piglet [PDF]

, 2003
In piglets, the post-weaning growth check is commonly associated with the weaning process that occurs within the European Union at approximately 3-4 weeks of age.

Investigation of the Relationship Between Ovine Selection Signature DIS3 Like 3′‐5′ Exoribonuclease 2 (DIS3L2) Gene and Weaning Weight and Average Daily Gain Until Weaning in Lambs

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The growing demand for animal products, combined with declining livestock production due to urbanization and climate change, underscores the need for sustainable breeding strategies. In sheep production, liveweight and weight gain until weaning are key economic traits.

Addition of oat hulls to an extruded rice-based diet for weaner pigs ameliorates the incidence of diarrhoea and reduces indices of protein fermentation in the gastrointestinal tract

, 2008
An experiment was conducted to determine whether adding oat hulls to weaner pig diets based on extruded rice or unprocessed wheat influenced post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) and protein fermentation in the large intestine.

Transcriptomic Analysis in the Liver of Two Rabbit Lines Divergently Selected for Intramuscular Fat Content

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The intramuscular fat (IMF) content is an important indicator of meat quality, affecting the sensory properties of meat. IMF is a complex trait with polygenic nature. This research aimed to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and key transcription factors (TFs) associated with IMF deposition in the liver of two rabbit lines ...

Targeting Myostatin for Sustainable Meat Production: Insights From Multiple Species

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Myostatin gene (MSTN), a TGF‐β superfamily member, negatively regulates skeletal muscle growth, positioning it as a prime genetic target for enhancing livestock meat production. This review synthesizes evidence from 1979 to 2025 on MSTN mutations across cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, and rabbits, emphasising impacts on yield, quality ...
