Culture-independent analysis of the chicken cecal microbiota estimated 900 species of bacteria in 100 genera existing in the cecum of chickens, with most of them belonging to uncategorized genera [7, 14]. Previous studies have shown that the caeca microbial communities were more diverse in ...
development of a methanogenic community in caeca. Influence of gut microbiota on its host The gut represents a natural interface between the intestinal microbiota and the host. Bacterial cells by far outnumber the host cells, harbor millions of genes and form a community termed the microbiome. Thr...
a healthy gut microbiome of broiler chickens can help in immunomodulation as well as conferring resistance to colonization by pathogens and, as a consequence, can reduce the use of antibiotics. Several strategies are

in the digesta were greatest in the caeca,especially when Xyl was supplemented(P<0.001).The concentration of total soluble AX was greater in the gizzard and ileal digesta with Xyl supplementation(P<0.05),supporting the depolymerisation action of xylanase even under acidic conditions.These data ...
Therefore, the weight and content of caeca were measured, since this is the place where a collection of innate microbiota of rodents resides24. In addition to a change in the caecum weight which was lower in MIF-KO mice (Fig. 4a), a distinguished difference in the microbiota composition ...
Promoting resistance to enteric pathogen infection is a core function of the gut microbiota; however, many of the specific host–commensal interactions that mediate this protection remain uncharacterised. To address this knowledge gap, we monocolonised g
analysis of the small intestine microbiota precludes non-lethal sampling because of its location in the GI tract. As a result, microbiota variation along different segments of the GI tract has only been studied in very few species: chicken28,29, turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)30, hoatzin (Opistho...

Since dietary prebiotics pass through the proximal portion of the GI tract, they have the ability to interact with intes- tinal microbiota [4]. Among prebiotics, inulin is an alter- native to antibiotic growth promoters in chicken, since at lower level of inclusion positive effects on body ...
