Specific Microbial Taxa and Functional Capacity Contribute to Chicken Abdominal Fat Deposition

Specific Microbial Taxa and Functional Capacity Contribute to Chicken Abdominal Fat Deposition

Genetically selected chickens with better growth and early maturation show an incidental increase in abdominal fat deposition (AFD). Accumulating evidence reveals a strong association between gut microbiota and adiposity. However, studies focusing on the role of gut microbiota in chicken obesity in...
