CULTIVABLE GUT MICROBIOTA IN SYNANTHROPIC BATS: SHIFTS OF ITS COMPOSITION AND DIVERSITY ASSOCIATED WITH HIBERNATION

Cultivable Gut Microbiota in Synanthropic Bats: Shifts of Its Composition and Diversity Associated with Hibernation

The role of bats in the global microbial ecology no doubt is significant due to their unique immune responses, ability to fly, and long lifespan, all contributing to pathogen spread.Some of these animals hibernate during winter, Pizza Screens which results in the altering of their physiology.However, gut microbiota shifts during hibernation is litt

Dietary Calcium Levels Reduce the Efficacy of One Alpha-Hydroxycholecalciferol in Phosphorus-Deficient Diets of Broilers

One alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol (1α-OH D3), an analog of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), improves growth performance and phosphorus retention in broilers.In the present study, we investigate the effects of dietary calcium (Ca) levels on the efficacy of 1α-OH D3 in the phosphorus (P)-deficient corn-soybean meal diets of 1- to 21-d-old bro
