Abstract
This multi-year study aims to evaluate whether commingling and/or dietary fiber can be used to mitigate the spread and persistence of antimicrobial resistance genes within the fecal microbial community after metaphylactic antibiotic use in production pigs. As part of this larger study, one objective was to understand whether commingling and dietary fiber would also impact on performance.
