Combined effect of microbially derived cecal SCFA and host genetics on feed efficiency in broiler chickens

Abstract Background Improving feed efficiency is the most important goal for modern animal production. The regulatory mechanisms of controlling feed efficiency traits are extremely complex and include the functions related to host genetics and gut microbiota. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), as sign...
