Cecal microbiome raw sequence reads of yellow-feathered broiler fed a heat-inactivated compound probiotics. chicken gut metagenome

A total of 360 1-day-old broilers were randomly divided into 3 groups, including a basal diet as negative control group (PC), basal diet plus antibiotics with 250 mg/kg calcium oxytetracycline and 200 mg/kg Nosiheptide as positive control (PC), and basal diet plus 500 mg/kg compound probiotics consisting of heat-inactivated Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus acidophilus BFI (BFI). On d 21, 42 and 63, one chick from each replicate was selected to collect the cecal samples for the microbiome analyse by 16S rRNA sequencing.
