Molecular mechanism underlying the effect of illumination time on the growth performance of broilers via changes in the intestinal bacterial community
The circadian rhythms associated with light have important effects on the growth, metabolism, immunity and reproduction of broilers. However, there is a lack of systematic evaluations of the effect of the light cycle on intestinal microbes and the nutritional metabolism of these microbes in broilers...
