Effects of cLFchimera, a recombinant antimicrobial peptide, on intestinal morphology, microbiota, and gene expression of immune cells and tight junctions in broiler chickens challenged withC. perfringens
Abstract:24The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of cLFchimera, a recombinant 25 antimicrobial peptide (AMP), on various productive performance and gut health attributes of 26 broilers experimentally challenged with Clostridium perfringens (Cp). Three hundred and sixty 1-27 day-old chickens were randomly allocated to 4 treatments of 6 replicates as follows: T1) 28 unchallenged group fed with corn-soybean meal (CSM) without Cp challenge and additives; T2) 29 challenge group fed with CSM and ch… Show more
