Intestinal microbiome profiles in broiler chickens raised without antibiotics, broilers exhibit altered microbiome dynamics relative to conventionally raised birds
The present study was undertaken to profile and compare the cecal microbial communities in conventionally (CONV) grown and raised without antibiotics (RWA) broiler chickens. Three hundred chickens were collected from five CONV and five RWA chicken farms on days 10, 24, and 35 of age.
