Dr. Tom Burkey: Cecum Effects on Pigs | Ep. 72
Description
Despite playing a significant role in the fermentation of dietary nutrients, the cecum and its effects on the metabolism and health of pigs are poorly understood. With that in mind, in this episode, Dr. Burkey discusses a study he worked on aimed at developing a cecectomized pig model in order to evaluate the cecum microbial community structure in cecectomized finisher pigs which were fed a high-fiber diet (soy hulls).
