Overview

This analysis shows differences in fungal community structure in swine feces, indicating farming systems and age may alter mycobiota composition.

Key Points

  • A significant difference in fungal community structure was observed between conventionally raised and pasture-raised pigs.
  • Pasture-raised pigs hosted a more diverse fungal community, showing higher species richness compared to conventional ones.
  • The study involved collecting fecal samples from pigs of different ages across two farming systems to analyze their mycobiota.
  • Understanding these influences may help improve animal health and optimize farming practices for swine.
