Shifts in microbiota and gene expression of nutrient transporters, mucin and interleukins in the gut of fast-growing and slow-growing chickens infected by Salmonella Enteritidis
Slow-growing breeds are more resistant to Salmonella infection compared to fast-growing broilers. However, it is unclear whether that is associated...
