Metabolomics utilizes advanced analytical profiling techniques to comprehensively measure small molecules in cells, tissues, and biological fluids. Nutritional metabolomics studies in pigs have reported changes in hundreds of metabolites across various sample types, including plasma, serum, urine, d...
