This study explores the complex interactions between dietary components and gene expression pathways, with a focus on their effects on pig growth, development, and metabolic health. Nutritional interventions, including macronutrients, micronutrients, and feed additives, are discussed, and the main benefits of targeted nutritional strategies, including improved muscle development, enhanced immune response, and optimized energy efficiency, are summarized. The progress of nutrigenomics, such as transcriptomics research and integrated omics methods, is briefly described. A case study illustrates how specific dietary changes affect gene expression and its practical application in pig production. Despite progress, challenges such as the complexity of gene nutrient interactions and methodological limitations still exist. Future research should prioritize the integration of multiple omics and innovative technologies to improve nutrition strategies and pave the way for personalized pig feeding practices. This study emphasizes the transformative potential of nutrigenomics in optimizing gene expression for sustainable pig production.
