Genomics and Swine Health: The Next Steps -Banff 2016

A new research project hopes to provide novel strategies for reducing disease impacts by applying genomic technologies to develop and optimize selection strategies for resilient pigs. They hope to determine the optimal gut microbiome associated with health and appropriate immune response. At all stages, this project will collect a large number of samples for genomic analysis to determine the gene profile and gene expression that are associated with the disease resilience in pigs. Ultimately, researchers hope to improve the end-user’s ability to select, feed and use microbial management tools for the optimal immune response of pigs.
