Exploratory analysis of the associations of short-chain fatty acids and their related factors with growth performance in growing pigs using a Bayesian network

We suggested the causal relationships between daily weight gains (DG) and feed conversion ratios (FCR) of growing pigs, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) concentrations in digesta and blood, and SCFA-related factors such as intestinal morphology, SCFA transporters and tight junc...
