Demonstrates how colostrum composition affects piglet survival and growth, highlighting parity factors.
This study confirms the importance of parity order in shaping colostrum composition and identifies several bioactive compounds, some parity-dependent and others parity-independent, that may be associated with improved piglet survival and gut microbiota maturation. The findings may also support the development of next-generation artificial colostrum supplements.
