Sow Contact Is a Major Driver in the Development of the Nasal Microbiota of Piglets

The nasal microbiota composition is associated with the health status of piglets. Sow-contact in early life is one of the factors influencing the microbial composition in piglets; however, its impact has never been assessed in the nasal microbiota of piglets reared in controlled environmental condit...
