Description
Qin Luo's dataset contains results from a study on early-life Lactobacillus reuteri supplementation in suckling piglets. The data includes measurements of growth performance, immune markers, intestinal morphology, gut microbiota composition, ileal metabolites, and barrier function proteins. The dataset was uploaded to figshare on April 10, 2026.
Use Cases
Analyze correlations between probiotic supplementation and growth metrics like weaning weight and average daily gain.
Model relationships between gut microbiota composition (e.g., Lactobacillus abundance) and metabolite profiles.
Investigate associations between immune cytokine levels (e.g., IL-4, IL-10) and intestinal barrier protein expression (e.g., Occludin, MUC-2).
Compare histological outcomes (villus height, crypt depth) with clinical outcomes like diarrhea incidence.
Strengths
Dataset includes multi-omics integration of 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolomic analyses.
Experimental design compares intervention durations (3-day and 7-day supplementation).
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Data may reflect bias inherent to a single controlled animal study.
Provenance

Collection Method
Experimental study administering Lactobacillus reuteri to neonatal piglets.
