The Effect of Glucose Oxidase on Growth Performance, Immunity Function, Antioxidative Status, and Cecal Microbiota of White-feathered Broilers

This study aimed to illustrate the effects of glucose oxidase (GOD) on broilers as an appropriate substitute for antibiotics. By comparing the indices of growth performance, immunity, intestinal barriers functions among GOD-supplied dietary groups, basal diet and the antibiotic-supplied group, combining with the microbiota analysis in cecal contents, we drew the conclusion from multi-angle for this feed additive application and determined the optimal concentration. Five biomarkers were identified on genus level after the GOD supplement, and the PICRUSt analysis potential function from microbiota enrichment for the well-being condition of the broilers.
