Dietary Supplementation With Citrus Extract Altered the Intestinal Microbiota and Microbial Metabolite Profiles and Enhanced the Mucosal Immune Homeostasis in Yellow-Feathered Broilers

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of citrus extract (CE) on intestinal microbiota, microbial metabolite profiles, and the mucosal immune status in broilers. A total of 540 one-day-old yellow-feathered broilers were randomly allotted into three groups and fed a basal diet (control gr...
