Effects of dietary supplementation with Bacillus subtilis and bacteriophage on growth performance, intestinal morphology and microbiota structure in 0–90 d MaGang geese
This research has shown that adding <i>B. subtilis</i> and bacteriophages to feed significantly enhances the intestinal barrier function of geese. The findings demonstrate that combined supplementation of <i>B. subtilis</i> and bacteriophages during the brooding and rearing stages optimizes growth performance through gut-microbiota-immune interactions, providing an effective antibiotic-free strategy for sustainable poultry production.
