Conventional poultry breeding primarily targets host growth traits, yet breeding may also reshape the gut microbiota through host–microbe interactions. Given the spatial heterogeneity of the chicken gastrointestinal tract, whether divergent selection for body weight is associated with compartment-specific microbial ass...

Deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination is a significant challenge in broilers, which has a negative impact on liver function and health, endangering broiler production. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of L. plantarum PA01 in mitigating DON-induced liver injury and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms....

The gut microbiota integrates nutrition, metabolism, and production in poultry and microbial metabolites regulate gut barrier and immune homeostasis and advance sustainable poultry production.
By reversing dysregulation of key genes such as VEGFA, KDR, and FN1, ATLE restored core pathways including focal adhesion and ECM–receptor interaction and coordinated processes such as extracellular matrix, angiogenesis, and response to wounding, driving a systemic remodeling of the ovarian reproductive microenvironmen...
