Workflow from Scientific Research

The overall workflow. The workflow works on the pathway “host genome variants-cecal microbiota-cecal SCFA-feed efficiency.” The GWAS study was conducted on gut SCFAs and feed efficiency. The heritability of gut SCFAs was estimated based on genomic data. The SCFA-related SNPs were used to test the loci effect on the gut microbiota and feed efficiency to help screen the vital components of the microbiota. The correlation tests were conducted among gut SCFAs, microbial taxa, and feed efficiency traits
