Effects of exogenous protease supplementation of diets containing animal proteins or not on Campylobacter jejuni colonization and on the intestinal microbiota of broiler chickens
Adding a commercially available protease to a vegetarian protein source diet appears to reduce C. jejuni colonization of the intestine, inhibit its translocation to the liver, and modify the cecal microbiota. These findings lead to further research questions on the interplay between C. jejuni strains, feed protein types, and commercial protease feed supplementation.
