Intestinal microbiota profiles associated with low and high residual feed intake in chickens across two geographical locations.

Intestinal microbiota profiles associated with low and high residual feed intake in chickens across two geographical locations.

Intestinal microbe-host interactions can affect the feed efficiency (FE) of chickens. As inconsistent findings for FE-associated bacterial taxa were reported across studies, the present objective was to identify whether bacterial profiles and predicted metabolic functions that were associated with r...
