Cecal microbiota transplantation enhances calcium retention through modulation of gut microbiota and intestinal calcium transporter gene expression in chicks

Bone development during early life is crucial for maintaining skeletal health and productivity in laying hens. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of transferring cecal bacterial material of healthy adult hens on growth performance, gut integrity, microbial development, and bone met...
