Beschreibung
The overall goal of this project is to identify the impact of, microbiome, animal genetics, nutrition and protein metabolism on protein utilization efficiency. This project combines the expertise of five research groups that will further study protein utilization efficiency in pigs and ow to improve it.
The department Livestock Microbial Ecology is responsible to characterize the composition of the microbiota on a case-by-case basis and to reveal relationships with the proteome and protein turnover.
