Detail description
Integrating intestinal flora traits into broiler chicken genetic selection improves health, welfare, and sustainability. This approach enhances nutrient absorption, immune function, and feed efficiency while reducing disease risk and antibiotic use. Selecting for resilient gut microbiota supports better growth rates, lower veterinary costs, and improved manure quality. It aligns with industry trends and consumer demand for sustainable, ethical poultry production.
