Fecal microbiome associated with egg production efficiency in laying hens
The fecal microbiome of highly productive laying hens is characterized by an enrichment of Enterococcus cecorum and lactic acid bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus kitasatonis, Lactobacillus gallinarum, and Lactobacillus salivarius. Their targeted supplementation may represent a promising probiotic strategy to improve egg production efficiency in commercial laying hens.
