Effects of immunomodulatory peptides derived from a soil bacterium on caecal microbiota of broilers challenged with Clostridium perfringens
Brevibacillus texasporus peptide (BT peptide) is immunomodulatory in poultry and is proposed as a feed additive substitute for antibiotics. In the present study, we performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing to compare development of the caecal microbial communities in Clostridium perfringens-challenged…
