Abstract:This study was conducted to examine the changes in growth performance and caecal microbiotal community in cycle heat stress (CHS) treated broilers. A total of 200 twenty-eight-day-old female Arbor Acres (AA) broilers were equally allotted into neutral ambient temperature group (TN group, 24 ± 1℃, 24 h/day) and CHS group (33 ± 1℃, 8 h/day) with five replicates of 10 broilers each, respectively. Growth performance, cecum microbial diversity, flora composition and community structure were analyzed on days 35 and … Show more
