Microbiome and resistome dynamics in different stages of commercial broiler production with restricted antimicrobial use
Our study highlights that AMR in commercial poultry system reflects the combined effect of production-stage, company practices, and environmental boundaries. Future studies should integrate quantitative AMR data and culture-based techniques with metagenomic findings to strengthen tracking and surveillance of AMR in poultry farm environments.
