Using fecal microbiota as biomarkers for predictions of performance in the selective breeding process of pedigree broiler breeders
Much work has been dedicated to identifying members of the microbial gut community that have potential to augment the growth rate of agricultural animals including chickens. Here, we assessed any correlations between the fecal microbiome, a proxy for the gut microbiome, and feed efficiency or weight...
