Effects of Lactobacillus plantarum ZG-7 on the intestinal barrier and intestinal flora of Muscovy ducks infected with avian pathogenic Escherichia coli
Taken together, these results demonstrate that <i>L. plantarum</i> ZG-7 helps maintain a beneficial microbial composition, protects epithelial barrier function, and mitigates the adverse effects of APEC infection in Muscovy ducks, highlighting its potential as a natural and sustainable alternative for improving poultry health.
