Intestinal permeability, microbiota composition, and expression of genes related to intestinal barrier function of broiler chickens fed different methionine sources supplemented at varying concentrations

ABSTRACT: Intestinal health of broiler chickens is influenced by the concentration of dietary amino acids but data are limited on the role of dietary methionine (Met). Two experiments were conducted to investigate the implications of different Met sources for performance, gut barrier function, and i...
