Effect of breed and diet on the Ethiopian chicken gut microbiota
This study aims to investigate the effects on productivity and gut microbiota phenotypes of providing a scavenging-like diet vs. a commercial-type diet to a native Ethiopian chicken breed (Tilili) and to a genetically improved dual-purpose commercial breed (Sasso). Microbiota data was produced via amplification and sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene.
