Project description:The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of dietary Spirulina and lysozyme supplementation over the muscle proteome of piglets during the post-weaning stage. Thirty piglets were randomly distributed among three diets: control (no microalga), SP (10% Spirulina) and SP+L (10% Spirulina + 0.01% lysozyme). They were fed ad libitum for 4 weeks, after which they were sacrificed and samples of the longissimus lumborum muscle were taken. The muscle proteome was analysed using a Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)-based quantitative approach.
Project description:The aim of this study was to characterize the metabolomic and proteomic changes in the intestinal tissue of weaned piglets fed with diets containing Spirulina as an ingredient (10% incorporation in the diet), combining such information with histomorphology data.
