Thesis Abstract

<p> The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the health and development of animals, including piglets. Weaning is a critical period for piglets, as it involves a transition from a liquid milk-based diet to solid feed, which can significantly impact their gut microbiota composition. This study aims to investigate the effects of different weaning strategies on the gut microbiota composition in piglets. By analyzing the microbial diversity and abundance in the gut, we can gain insights into the potential benefits or challenges associated with different weaning practices. The findings of this study will contribute to our understanding of how weaning strategies can influence the gut microbiota and provide valuable information for optimizing piglet nutrition and health during this critical period. <br></p>
