Insights into the proteomic profile of newly harvested corn and metagenomic analysis of the broiler intestinal microbiota.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of newly harvested corn in feed causes wet droppings in broilers and increased feed cost which was termed as "new season grain problem". The present study was conducted to evaluate the proteomic profile of newly harvested corn and the subsequent influence on intestinal microbiol community for broiler chickens.

Methods

Newly harvested corn stored for either half a month (HM) or two months (TM) was used, and the pasting properties, total soluble sugars, and proteomic analysis technology was used to explore the influence of storage on natural aging corn properties. Additionally, seventy-two 7-day-old Ross 308 male broiler chicken were fed with different stored corn. Apparent metabolizable energy (AME), digesta viscosity, intestinal morphology and microbiota w
