Effects of Different Ammonia Concentrations on Pulmonary Microbial Flora, Lung Tissue Mucosal Morphology, Inflammatory Cytokines, and Neurotransmitters of Broilers

Atmospheric ammonia is one of the main environmental stressors affecting the performance of broilers. Previous studies demonstrated that high levels of ammonia altered pulmonary microbiota and induced inflammation. Research into the lung–brain axis has been increasing in recent years. However, the m...
