Abstract: = 0.039). Correlation analysis indicated that the acetic acid content was positively correlated with the relative Spirochaetota abundance and the IMF content, and a negative trend with the fat percentage of Shaziling pigs. In conclusion, these results indicated that Glu could simultaneously increase the lean percentage and IMF content and decrease the fat percentage of Shaziling pigs, and these beneficial effects may be related to increased colonic Spirochaetota abundance and acetic acid concentrations.
