Intestinal microbiota composition and bile salt hydrolase activity in fast and slow growing broiler chickens: implications for growth performance and production efficiency

Intestinal microbiota composition and bile salt hydrolase activity in fast and slow growing broiler chickens: implications for growth performance and production efficiency

Abstract Background Body weight is an important indicator of the overall health and production efficiency in broiler chickens. In broiler houses, body weight of chicks is variable despite the same genetics, hatching and feeding practices within a production system. The objective of this study was to...
