Faecal microbiome sequences in relation to the egg-laying performance of hens using amplicon-based metagenomic association analysis

Exploring the composition and structure of the faecal microbial community improves the understanding of the role of the gut microbiota in the gastrointestinal function and the egg-laying performance of hens. Therefore, detection of hen–microbial interactions can explore a new breeding marker for the...
