Abstract:

There are abundant microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract of chicken, which play important roles in the metabolism and immunity of the host. The development of high-throughput sequencing technology for intestinal microbial research provides a new way of thinking. The article elaborates that metagenomics and effects of changes in intestinal microbial structure on the host and different feeding conditions, host physiological characteristics effect on intestinal microbial. This article focuses on the analysis of correlation between the intestinal microbial colony structure and characteristics of nutrient metabolism, immune function, and healthy growth of chicken on the level of metagenomics, and we hope to provide ideas for the study of intestinal microbial.

Key words: chicken; intestinal microorganisms; metagenomics; nutrient metabolism; immune fouction
