Diet–vaccine interactions: SQM Iron and <i>Salmonella</i> vaccination shape poultry gut microbiota
was markedly increased, revealing nonadditive effects. These findings illuminate the potential of integrated strategies, combining immune stimulation with precision micronutrient supplementation, to improve poultry health and food safety. However, these results also underscore the intricate microbial trade-offs that must be carefully navigated to avoid unintended consequences in modern production systems. IMPORTANCE: burden while supporting flock health.
