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
The caecal microbiota of 243 indigenous Ethiopian village chickens from 26 villages in 15 districts was analysed using metagenomic sequencing. We assembled 9,977 strain-level genomes and 1,790 species
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
