Broiler chicken intestine Targeted Locus (Loci)
454 pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA genes in digesta from the jejunum and cecum of 42-day old broiler chickens was performed to investigate the impact of in-feed antibiotics, virginiamycin and bacitracin methylene disalicylate, on intestinal bacteria. Consecutive flocks receiving the same diets, and raised in the same environment were investigated to evaluate flock-to-flock variation.
