Succession and replacement of bacterial populations in the caecum of egg laying hens over their whole life.

Succession and replacement of bacterial populations in the caecum of egg laying hens over their whole life.

In this study we characterised the development of caecal microbiota in egg laying hens over their commercial production lifespan, from the day of hatching until 60 weeks of age. Using pyrosequencing of V3/V4 variable regions of 16S rRNA genes for microbiota characterisation, we were able to define 4...
