Light intensity and cage position affect meat quality by regulating intestinal flora, inflammation and oxidation in broilers
These findings suggest that light intensity and cage position interact to affect meat quality, with observed improvements potentially linked to concomitant changes in gut microbiota, inflammation and oxidative status.
