Impact of industrial production system parameters on chicken microbiomes: mechanisms to improve performance and reduce Campylobacter

Abstract Background The factors affecting host-pathogen ecology in terms of the microbiome remain poorly studied. Chickens are a key source of protein with gut health heavily dependent on the complex microbiome which has key roles in nutrient assimilation and vitamin and amino acid biosynthesis. The...
