Microbiome sequencing of cecal bacteria and fungi in broilers at 21 and 42 Days with isovaleric acid supplementation
This project investigates the microbiome of broilers at 21 and 42 days of age, with a focus on cecal bacterial and fungal communities, and their response to Isovaleric Acid (IVA) supplementation. The aim is to understand the influence of IVA on the microbial composition and metabolic pathways during these critical growth stages. Using high-throughput 16S rDNA and ITS sequencing, the study analyzes the diversity and composition of bacterial and fungal microbiota at these two key developmental stages. The aim is to understand how IVA supplementation influences the gut microbiota, potentially affecting broiler performance, health, and meat quality. This data provides insights into microbial shifts driven by IVA and offers valuable information for optimizing broiler nutrition and feeding strategies.
