The gut microbiota of Zhedong white goose in different intestinal segments during development
Intestinal microbiota plays critical roles in animal growth and health. To characterize the gut microbial spatiotemporal dynamics of Zhedong-white (ZD) goose, we performed 16S rDNA sequencing on duodenal, jejunal, cecal and rectal contents of ZD geese at 28, 56 and 70 days of age. Results showed higher microbial richne...
