Effects of dietary metabolizable energy and crude protein levels on production performance, meat quality and cecal microbiota of Taihe Silky Fowl during growing period by Yutian Shen, Wentao Li, Lixia Kai, Yuqing Fan, Youping Wu, Fengqin Wang, Yizhen Wang, Zeqing Lu

“…The richness and diversity of cecal microbiota decreased gradually with the increase of dietary ME level, and the community structure changed significantly (P < 0.05). High ME diet (12.6 MJ/kg) significantly increased the abundance of Bacteroides (P < 0.05), especially the genus Alistipes, which may indirectly improve nutrient absorption efficiency and overall health status of Taihe Silky Fowl through its metabolites and effects on intestinal microbial community structure, thereby reducing FCR. …”
