Cecal microbiota of broiler chickens subjected to in-ovo and post-hatch probiotic treatments during Salmonella challenge. Metagenome
This project investigates the impact of in ovo and post-hatch probiotic administration on the cecal microbiota of broiler chickens during Salmonella challenge. Cecal samples were collected at different time points and analyzed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to evaluate microbial community shifts associated with probiotic treatments and pathogen exposure.
