MIcrobiota - different dietary inclusion of rye in broilers

The dataset contains an experiment that was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary inclusion of rye, a model ingredient to increase gut viscosity, between 14 and 28 d of age on immune competence-related parameters and performance of broilers. A total of 960 day-old male Ross 308 chicks were weighed and randomly allocated to 24 pens (40 birds per pen), and the birds in every 8 replicate pens were assigned to 1 of 3 experimental diets including graded levels, 0%, 5%, and 10% of rye. Here, the microbiota of jejunal digesta samples is reported, i.e. the raw fastq data, as well as the metadata. The accompanying (peer-reviewed) scientific article can be found here: PMID: 28854752 DOI: 10.3382/ps/pex152
