Probiotic efficacy and mechanism of a pigeon derived Ligilactobacillus salivarius strain in promoting growth and intestinal development of pigeons
<i>Ligilactobacillus salivarius</i> S10 possesses the potential to be used as a probiotic for pigeons, which can influence the expression of gut development-related DEGs by regulating the intestinal flora, and further improve the growth performance of pigeons. This research provides a scientific foundation for developing pigeon-specific probiotics and promotes healthy farming practices for meat pigeons. Furthermore, it opens new avenues for improving the economic efficiency of pigeon farming.
