Comparative analysis of microbiota from commercial broiler farms of two integration companies using AGP or chestnut/quebracho polyphenol extracts
Published: January 7, 2020
Summary
The importance of the microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract of animals is recognized to have an important role in host health and productivity. In this study, we sought to assess and characterize the microbiota in the feces of poultry chickens from several farms of 2 different integrators in the same geographical region of South America. These companies were changing AGP program to an AGP-free...

Nice work.
Wondering if you are planning to try using just total RNA random sequencing instead of 16S variable region. In our hands when we use RNA, we obtain almost complete 16S, 18s and 23S for species level resolution and in some cases and viral RNAs as well. Since you are dealing with RNA random amplified you may obtain a sense of what bacteria/viruses are transcriptionally active.

Thank you, Claudio. Yes, we plan to do RNAseq in the future, it would provide additional information that could be very interesting. But its very expensive!

We are running 48 samples per Run on an Illumina Myseq. This gives lots of bacterial Ribosomal diversity at a cost of about $100 or less per sample for reagents.
