Cecal Bacterial Diversity of Chickens Under Dietary IsCT Treatment

We aimed to investigate the effects of Isalo scorpion cytotoxic peptide (IsCT) on the growth, immune performance, and intestinal microbiota of yellow-feathered broilers. A total of 240 yellow-feathered broilers were randomly assigned to six groups, with different doses of IsCT added to the basal diet of each group. The results showed that the abundance of beneficial bacteria increased whereas that of harmful bacteria decreased in the caecum of the chickens.

本研究旨在探究伊萨洛蝎细胞毒性肽（IsCT）对黄羽肉鸡生长性能、免疫机能及肠道菌群的影响。共选取240只黄羽肉鸡，随机分为6组，各组基础日粮中添加不同剂量的IsCT。结果显示，肉鸡盲肠内有益菌丰度升高，有害菌丰度降低。
