The current study aims to investigate the potential interaction between glycosylation profiles of Ningxiang breed (NX) and Western Duroc × Landrace Yorkshire (DLY) weaned piglets, their characteristic microbes, employing integrated analyses transcriptomics metagenomics. Twenty-four (12 NX 12 DLY) at 28 days age were transported into an experimental house fed same piglet diet. trail period was 7 days. Results revealed that piglets had a higher growth-to-feed ratio, body weight gain scale, lower pathological score intestinal injury compared with DLY (P < 0.01). displayed elevated mRNA expression levels MUC2 MUC5AC in colonic mucosal tissue than 0.05). Within O-linked glycosylated differentially expressed genes (DEGs), FNTA, GALNT18, POMGNT1, POMGNT2, POMT1 significantly upregulated relative Conversely, C1GALT2, GALNT1, KMT2C, OGT downregulated KMT2C gene hardly transcriptome piglets. At phylum taxonomic level, abundance Firmicutes, while Proteobacteria. genus Lactobacillus, whereas Collinsella, Enterococcus Escherichia. results correlation differential bacteria O-chain DEG showed GALNT1 KMT2 associated Lactobacillus_pontis positive (R = 0.67). Through comparative analysis functions, this highlights role reduced genes, involved protein glycan reactions, impairing barrier function Furthermore, members Lactobacillus Prevotella genera may actively contribute regulation colon profiles.
