Observational analysis highlights enhanced pig health and reduced antibiotic use, suggesting better sustainability.

Use of probiotics improved average daily weight gain by 80 g and halved morbidity rates, enhancing overall health.
Vaccination resulted in a 4.3% increase in livestock safety and a 40% reduction in antibiotic therapy needs.
Genetic selection led to the largest weight gain increase, at up to 810 g/day, while decreasing antibiotic residues and emissions.
Economic analysis showed positive ROI across methods: 287.5% for probiotics, 50% for vaccination, 123% for breeding.

Zhdanov et al. (2025) studied this question.
