Intestinal Microbiota Regulate Certain Meat Quality Parameters in Chicken.

ABSTRACT: Growing evidence of intestinal microbiota-muscle axis provides a possibility to improve meat quality of broilers through regulating intestinal microbiota. Water-holding capacity is a crucial factor to evaluate the meat quality. High quality of water-holding capacity is usually described as a low drip-losing rate. This study aimed to explore the relationship between intestinal microbiota and water-holding capacity of muscle in broilers. According to our results, two native breeds of broilers (the Arbor Acres broilers and the Beijing-You broilers) exhibited remarkable differences in microbiota composition. However, the regular of gut bacteria compositions gradually became similar when the two breeds of broiler were raised in a same feeding environment. Therefore, this similar regular of inte
