Respiratory and Gut Microbiota in Commercial Turkey Flocks with Disparate Weight Gain Trajectories Display Differential Compositional Dynamics

Abstract: ABSTRACTHost-associated communities of bacteria (microbiota) substantially contribute to the overall poultry health and performance. Gut microbiota are known to play roles in resistance to pathogen infection and optimal weight gain in turkey flocks. However, knowledge of turkey respiratory microbiota and its link to gut microbiota is lacking. This study presents a 16S rRNA gene-based census of the turkey respiratory microbiota (nasal cavity and trachea) alongside gut microbiota… Show more

“…The microbiome of commercially raised poultry is undoubtedly influenced by production practices such as crowded conditions, diet, and antibiotic use. Several studies have characterized the gut microbiomes of domestic turkeys in a variety of experimental and agricultural settings (20, 2225); however very few studies have focused on the microbiomes of wild turkeys (11).…”
