Influence of Different Litter Regimens on Ceca Microbiota Profiles in Salmonella-Challenged Broiler Chicks

Simple Summary Poultry litter is a mixture of bedding materials and excreta of birds, resulting in a complex biological system of microbes making up its microbial population. Its management is a critical component in poultry production, with implications for the health and productivity of the birds. This study investigated litter type (dirty litter, DL; fresh litter, FL) and Salmonella Enteritidis on the microbiota composition of neonate broiler chicks. This study demonstrated that dirty litter with challenge promotes beneficial microbial diversity, enhances feed intake, and supports pathogen exclusion, indicating that strategic litter management can improve chick health and performance outcomes.
