Comparative metagenomic sequencing analysis of cecum microbiotal diversity and function in broilers and layers

The composition of the gastrointestinal microorganisms in poultry is closely associated with the host and its environment. In this study, using 16S rRNA and metagenomic techniques, we comprehensively analyzed the structure and diversity of the cecal microbiota of broiler chickens (BC) and laying hen...

Description
Summary:The composition of the gastrointestinal microorganisms in poultry is closely associated with the host and its environment. In this study, using 16S rRNA and metagenomic techniques, we comprehensively analyzed the structure and diversity of the cecal microbiota of broiler chickens (BC) and laying hens (LH). The 16S rRNA sequencing analysis showed Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria were the main cecal bacterial phyla in BC and LH. However, at the genus level, LH had a greater abundance of Bacteroides ( P
