Compost fermented with thermophilic Bacillaceae reduces heat stress–induced mortality in laying hens through gut microbial modulation
Oral administration of thermophile-fermented compost to laying hens alleviated HS-induced mortality. Integrative computational evaluations further revealed that the reduction in mortality was linked to structural changes in the gut microbiota composition and SCFA concentrations.
