Bacteriome and mycobiome profiling of liquid feed for finisher pigs on commercial pig farms.
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 2 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
The aim was to assess the quality of liquid feed for grow-finisher pigs across commercial pig farms by profiling the bacteriome and mycobiome of samples and determining biogenic amine concentrations. Amplicon sequencing of liquid feed samples revealed that bacterial and fungal community structures were influenced by the farm of origin and sampling location (mixing tank/trough) on a given farm. Decreases in alpha-diversity of liquid feed between the mixing tank and the troughs corresponded with increased relative abundances of bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus, Weissella and Leuconostoc, as well as yeasts, including Kazachstania and Dipodascus, indicative of spontaneous fermentation. The concentration of biogenic amines, resulting from amino acid loss from the feed, which likely plays a role in poorer feed efficiency, also increased between the mixing tank and the troughs. The highest biogenic amine concentrations in the feed were found on the farm that had the highest lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast counts. Both Lactobacillus and Kazachstania were correlated with biogenic amine concentrations in liquid feed, highlighting the unexplored role that LAB and yeast may play in amino acid decarboxylation and biogenic amine formation in liquid feed. Factors including the use of liquid co-products in diets also impacted the liquid feed microbiome.
