ABSTRACT: Background
The gut microbiota is a key regulator of bone metabolism. Investigating the relationship between the gut microbiota and bone remodeling has revealed new avenues for the treatment of bone-related disorders. Despite significant progress in understanding gut microbiota-bone interactions in mammals, research on avian species remains limited. Birds have unique bone anatomy and physiology to support egg-laying. However, whether and how the gut microbiota affects bone physiology in birds is still unknown. In this study, we utilized laying hens as a research model to analyze bone development patterns, elucidate the relationships between bone and the gut microbiota, and mine probiotics with osteomodulatory effects.Results
