New review article: Untargeted metabolomics as a tool to assess the impact of dietary approaches on pig gut health: a review

🚨 New Publication from PIG-PARADIGM! 🚨

We are excited to share a new review from PIG-PARADIGM, published in the Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology:
“Untargeted metabolomics as a tool to assess the impact of dietary approaches on pig gut health: a review” by Li Hsuan Chen, Nuria Canibe, Mihai Victor Curtasu, and Mette Skou Hedemann (all authors are with Aarhus University, Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences)

This review summarizes current literature on untargeted metabolomics as an analytical tool to investigate how different dietary approaches — from macronutrient adjustments to feed additives — influence gut health in pigs. It highlights key biomarkers and pathways, emphasizes the importance of sample types (e.g., serum vs. colon), and discusses the potential of in vitro models to better understand gut physiology.

Overall, the paper outlines what is known, identifies gaps, and sets the stage for future research. With ongoing advances in untargeted metabolomics, a clearer picture of gut health biomarkers and their role in precision nutrition is anticipated.
