Layer segmented filamentous bacteria colonize and impact gut health of broiler chickens
18 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT In commercial poultry farms, chicks hatch away from their progenitors from which they acquire key host-specific microbiota, like segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) involved in gut maturation in early life. This study investigated whether providing chicken SFB to newly hatched broilers would increase their gut maturation and resistance to bacteria relevant to broiler and human health. One-day-old...
