Abstract

Prophylactic antibiotic use in pig farming has contributed to the rise of antimicrobial resistance, spurring interest in probiotics to enhance pig gut health and immunity. Wild relatives of domestic pigs may harbour beneficial microbes, yet their gut microbiomes remain underexplored. In this study, we reconstructed 3,288 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from 89 wild boar faecal samples collected across four countries, all meeting at least MIMAG medium-quality standard (≥50% completeness,
