Description
Min-Ki Seok and coauthors track whole body responses to heat stress in finishing pigs with combined molecular tools in a 2026 study. Gut microbes, blood gene activity, and immune cell mixes were followed over time under hot and comfortable conditions. Heat cut daily gain and feed intake clearly.
Comfortable pigs kept microbes that produce helpful fermentation acids. Hot pigs shifted toward a clostridium group tied to stress adaptation. Blood gene changes peaked in week one, then faded as animals partly acclimated. Cytoskeleton genes sat at the center of the response network. Immune mixes diverged, with killer cells rising under heat. Livestock science gains a timeline for heat adjustment.
