The effect of barn sanitation methods on the gut microbiome of broiler chickens
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of barn sanitation on the gut microbiome of commercial broiler chickens. Full-sanitation with chemical disinfectants and water-wash were applied on 7 commercial chicken barns with 4 production cycles. Cecal contents of the birds from the two treatments were collected at 30 days of age for 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
