Poultry gut health – microbiome functions, environmental impacts, microbiome engineering and advancements in characterization technologies
Abstract The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) health impacts animal productivity. The poultry microbiome has functions which range from protection against pathogens and nutrients production, to host immune system maturation. Fluctuations in the microbiome have also been linked to prevailing environmenta...
