Multi-Enzyme Supplementation Modifies the Gut Microbiome and Metabolome in Breeding Hens

Laying and reproductive performance, egg quality, and disease resistance of hens decrease during the late laying period. Exogenous enzymes promote nutrient digestibility and utilization and improve the intestinal environment. However, the specific regulation of the gut microbiome and metabolome by e...
