Students will compare and contrast different types of feed milling. Students will demonstrate different types of feed milling by using cereal.
This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Chickens are an important source of proteins for humans. Chicken diets are therefore formulated to enhance production efficiency and human health. But few studies have explored how industrial production system parameters affect certain pathogens in the chicken gut, such as Campylobacter, the leading cause of human foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis. A recent study examined how the presence of Campylobacter in the chicken gut microbiome varied across three different production systems, one based on a normal production system, and two based on higher welfare with and without omega-3. The standard production system produced a significantly different microbial composition than the other systems, with bacteria of the genus Alistipes playing a more prominent role in the gut microbiome of chickens from the normal production system, and Eisenbergiella playing a more prominent role in the other two production systems. These bacteria play active roles in energy metabolism and nutrient uptake..."
