LP18 16S rRNA sequencing
The objective of this study was to determine the regulatory effect of dietary LP18 supplementation on the gut microbiota structure in animals. Specifically, we aimed to investigate whether LP18 could promote the proliferation of beneficial bacterial populations, suppress potential pathogens, and concurrently enhance growth performance and immune competence in these animals; the structural changes of the gut microbiota were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing technology.
