Probiotic Bacillus licheniformis DSMZ 28710 improves sow milk microbiota and enhances piglet health outcomes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Maintaining a diverse and balanced sow milk microbiome is essential to piglet development. Thus, this study aimed to examine the effects of probiotic Bacillus licheniformis supplementation on the microbiome composition of sow colostrum and milk, and to review associated health findings in piglets. B. licheniformis DSMZ 28710 was supplemented at 10 g/day as feed additive before predicted farrowing until weaning by top dressing. Colostrum and milk samples were collected for metagenomic DNA extraction, 16s rRNA sequencing, and bioinformatics analyses for bacterial microbiota diversity. Results indicated that the supplementation increased the abundances of beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Bacteroides, and Bifidobacterium, while decreasing the abundances of pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacteriaceae, and Campylobacter in the colostrum. The supplementation increased diversity while maintaining richness and evenness. Moreover, the rise in predicted microbial community metabolic function in membrane transport pathways provides crucial evidence showing that the supplementation is potentially beneficial to piglets, as these pathways are important for providing nutrients and immunity to offspring. This research highlights the importance of microbiome composition in sow milk and the potential of B. licheniformis supplementation as a means to improve piglet health and development.
