The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of genotypic variation on both early microbial colonization of the gut and functional development of intestinal tissue. From two genetically d
The present study aimed to characterize in detail the kinetics of the gut microbiota response to E. maxima infection. We collected ileal and cecal contents from non-infected mock control chickens and
investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with a mixture of probiotic containing heat-inactivated Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bacillus subtilis on cecal microbiome of yellow-feathered broile
Broiler breeder hens, the parent stock of commercial broiler chickens, are genetically selected for rapid growth. Due to a longer production period and the focus of genetic selection on superior carca
