Abstract
Piglets are abruptly separated from their sow at weaning and are quickly transitioned from sow's milk to a plant-based diet. This is the most important period in commercial swine production, yet the effect of weaning age on the long-term development of the pig gut microbiome is largely unknown. Metagenomic sequencing allows for a higher-resolution assessment of the pig gut microbiome and enables characterization of the resistome. Here, we used metagenomic sequencing to identify bacterial species that were enriched postweaning and therefore may provide targets for future manipulation studies. In addition, functional profiling of the microbiome indicated that many carbohydrate and metabolic enzymes decrease in relative abundance after weaning. This study also highlights the challenges faced in reducing antimicrobial resistance in pigs, as genes conferring tetracycline and macrolide resistance remained relatively stable from 7 days of age through to market weight at 140 days despite no exposure to antimicrobials.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
