– Abstract Analysis Title Comparative Analysis of the Intestinal Bacterial and RNA Viral Communities from Sentinel Birds Placed on Selected Broiler Chicken Farms Background There is a great deal of interest in characterizing the complex microbial communities in the poultry gut, and in understanding the effects of these dynamic communities on poultry performance, disease status, animal welfare, and microbes with human health significance. Investigations characterizing the poultry enteric virome$ have identified novel poultry viruses, but the roles these viruses play in disease and performance problems have yet to be fully characterized@. Aim of the study The complex bacterial community present ...
