Pig Progress: Gut Health
The pig’s gut is where virtually all disciplines of pig science meet. Think about it – this is where the nutrition for the pigs is absorbed and where bacteria and pathogens can begin to challenge the health of the pig. Also, feed efficiency remains is major component in pig genetics. What is less known, however, is that gut health also has a behavioural component. There is plenty of reason, therefore, to prominently include the theme of Gut Health at the 2024 edition of EuroTier.
