Integrated Metagenomic and Untargeted Metabolomic Analyses Characterize Enramycin-Associated Colonic Microbial and Metabolic Changes in Weaned Rabbits

Enramycin is used as a dietary antimicrobial in young animals, but its effects on rabbit colonic ecology remain insufficiently characterized. This study evaluated the effects of enramycin in 60 weaned rabbits randomly assigned to a control or enramycin-treated group (60 mg/kg) fo...

Effects of Aging on Muscle Development Based on Transcriptome Sequencing in Dahen Broilers

Skeletal muscle growth and development represent a pivotal biological process that determines both the yield and quality of poultry meat. As chickens age, there is an observable shift in their muscle structure, function and metabolic properties. However, the molecular mechanisms...

Impact of pig farming activities on the gut microbiome and resistome of farmers: insights from metagenomics and Escherichia coli genomics

Intensive swine production entails high antimicrobial use and close human–animal microbial exchange, with potential to remodel the human gut ecosystem and promote cross-host antimicrobial resistance (AMR) transmission. To quantify the impact of occupational exposure on the human...
