Assessing the Impact of Flavophospholipol and Virginiamycin Supplementation on the Broiler Microbiota: a Prospective Controlled Intervention Study

Assessing the Impact of Flavophospholipol and Virginiamycin Supplementation on the Broiler Microbiota: a Prospective Controlled Intervention Study

ABSTRACT The antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) flavophospholipol and virginiamycin have been widely used for decades in food animal production. AGP activity is believed to be partly modulated by gut microbial composition although exact AGP-induced changes remain unclear. In a controlled interventio...
