A longitudinal investigation of gut microbiota dynamics in laying hens from birth to egg-laying stages
This study examined gut microbiota changes in Hy-Line Brown hens from birth to one-year post-laying, highlighting the impact of calcium-rich layer diets. The findings provide insights into microbiota dynamics and their relationship with age, which can be applied to optimize dietary strategies and improve laying hen productivity and health.
