Animals and their associated microbiota share long evolutionary histories. However, it is not always clear how host genotype and microbiota interact to affect phenotype. We applied a hologenomic approach to explore how host-microbiota interactions shape lifetime growth and parasite infection in f...
Chicken farming is critical for future food security, yet there is still a need for improving animal welfare and optimised feeding strategies. HoloFood will explore the interaction and impact of the microbiome together with the host (animal) in response to different feeding strategies already imp...
