Co-housing with Tibetan chickens improved the resistance of Arbor Acres chickens to Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis infection by altering their gut microbiota composition
Summary
Researchers found that housing standard Arbor Acres chickens alongside disease-resistant Tibetan chickens improved the gut microbiome of the standard birds, making them more resistant to Salmonella infection without weakening the Tibetan chickens — suggesting a practical, drug-free strategy for reducing bacterial illness in poultry farming.
Our findings indicate that co-housing with Tibetan chickens enhanced the resistance of AA chickens to S. Enteritidis infection without compromising the resistance of Tibetan chickens. This study provides a novel approach for Salmonella control in practical poultry production.
