Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Neonatal Exposure to Antibiotics Triggers Obesity in Adulthood by Permanent Microbiota Dysbiosis and Reduction of Adipose Regulatory T Cells

Barrier Immunity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neonatal dysbiosis of the gut microbiota represents a critical environmental factor promoting obesity, but the underlying immunological mechanisms remain unknown. We show here that neonatal treatment of mice with broad‐spectrum antibiotics for the first 3 weeks of life (NeoATB) resulted in the development of obesity and metabolic abnormalities
