Gut response to the dietary supplementation with sodium butyrate in broiler chickens: morphology and microbiota composition and predictive functional groups

Gut response to the dietary supplementation with sodium butyrate in broiler chickens: morphology and microbiota composition and predictive functional groups

This study investigated the effects of Na-butyrate supplementation (0 vs. 150 vs. 300 mg/kg) and the dietary fat level (7.7% vs. 6.7% in the grower diet; 8.9% vs. 7.7% in the finisher diet) in 900 broiler chickens of both sexes, out of which 108 were used to evaluate gut morphology and immune respon...
