Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed the growth performance and gut microbiota differences in two rabbit breeds, Native Middle-Egypt (NMER) and Giant Flanders (GF), from 5 to 12 weeks of age, using 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze gut samples.
- - Results showed that GF rabbits had better growth metrics, such as weight gain and villus height in the jejunum, compared to NMER rabbits, with their gut microbiota exhibiting beneficial bacterial compositions.
- - Significant correlations were found between specific gut microbiota in the jejunum and cecum of different breeds and their weight gain, indicating that the healthy microbiota in GF may help mitigate pathogenic effects in these rabbits.
this study aimed to investigate the growth mechanism in a local breed of chickens by comparing the highest weight (HW) and the lowest weight in their microbiota, histological characteristics, and gene expression. Golden Montazah chickens, an Egyptian breed, were reared until they were 49 days old. All of the birds were fed ad libitum by a starter diet from day 1 until day 21, followed by a grower diet from day 21 to the end of the study.
