摘要： The gut microbiota critically influences lipid metabolism and fat deposition in pigs, processes that underpin pork quality preferences and differentiate the meat traits of Chinese indigenous breeds (fat-type) from those of Western commercial breeds (lean-type). To explore the mechanisms underlying breed-specific fatty acid absorption, we compared the rectal and colonic microbiota and metabolite profiles of Huainan and Large White pigs using 16S rRNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics. HN pigs exhibited enriched Lactobacillus johnsonii and Lactobacillus amylovorus, along with a significantly higher Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. Functional predictions further revealed elevated microbial pathways related to glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, and ABC transporters in HN pigs. Conversely, LW pigs showed increased abundance of potentially pro-inflammatory bacteria and enriched pathways for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis. Metabolites such as 4-ethyl-2-heptylthiazole and picolinic acid were significantly upregulated in HN pigs and served as robust biomarkers (Area Under the Curve, AUC = 1.0),with perfect discrimination observed in both rectal and colonic samples. Integrative analysis identified 52 co-enriched microbial and metabolic pathways in HN pigs, including short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, lipid biosynthesis and transport, amino acid metabolism, ABC transporter activity, and the PPAR signaling pathway, supporting a microbiota-metabolite axis that enhances fatty acid absorption and gut immune balance. These findings provide mechanistic insight into breed-specific fat deposition and offer candidate biomarkers for improving pork quality via precision nutrition and breeding.
