Patterns of community assembly in the developing chicken microbiome reveal rapid primary succession

Abstract The fine‐scale temporal dynamics of the chicken gut microbiome are unexplored, but thought to be critical for chicken health and productivity. Here, we monitored the fecal microbiome of healthy chickens on days 1–7, 10, 14, 21, 28, and 35 after hatching, and performed 16S rRNA amplicon sequ...
