Effects of dustbathing environment on gut microbiota and expression of intestinal barrier and immune-related genes of adult laying hens housed individually in modified traditional cage

ABSTRACT: Litters, the composition of sand and peat rich in microbiota, are essential to trigger the dustbathing behavior of chickens. To investigate the effects of a dustbathing environment (DE) on the intestinal health, gut microbiota, and immune responses of laying hens, a total of 72 healthy Hy-...
