Competitive exclusion products, derived from the cecal contents of hens and shown to reduce\n                    <jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    colonization in chicks, possess important pioneer-colonizing bacteria needed for proper intestinal development and animal growth. We hypothesized that inoculation of these pioneer-colonizing bacteria to day of hatch chicks would enhance the development of their intestinal anatomy and microbiome. A competitive exclusion product was administered to broiler chickens, in their drinking water, at day of hatch, and its impact on intestinal morphometrics, intestinal microbiome, and production parameters, was assessed relative to a control, no treatment group. 16S rRNA gene, terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) was used to assess ileal community composition. The competitive exclusion product, administered on day of hatch, increased villus height, villus height\/width ratio and goblet cell production \u223c1.25-fold and expression of enterocyte sugar transporters 1.25 to 1.5-fold in chickens at 3\u00a0days of age, compared to the control group. As a next step, chicks were inoculated with a defined formulation, containing\n                    <jats:italic>Bacteroidia<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Clostridia<\/jats:italic>\n                    representing pioneer-colonizing bacteria of the two major bacterial phyla present in the competitive exclusion product. The defined formulation, containing both groups of bacteria, were shown, dependent on age, to improve villus height (jejunum: 1.14 to 1.46-fold; ileum: 1.17-fold), goblet cell numbers (ileum 1.32 to 2.51-fold), and feed efficiency (1.18-fold, day 1) while decreasing\n                    <jats:italic>Lactobacillus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ileal abundance by one-third to half in birds at 16 and 42\u00a0days of age, respectively; compared to the phosphate buffered saline treatment group\n                    <jats:italic>.<\/jats:italic>\n                    Therefore, specific probiotic formulations containing pioneer colonizing species can provide benefits in intestinal development, feed efficiency and body weight gain.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphys.2023.1139321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,29]],"date-time":"2023-03-29T00:45:37Z","timestamp":1680050737000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Pioneer colonizers: Bacteria that alter the chicken intestinal morphology and development of the microbiota"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Margie D.","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adriana A.","family":"Pedroso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brett","family":"Lumpkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Youngjae","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John J.","family":"Maurer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"101584","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psj.2021.101584","article-title":"Essential oils and their nanoemulsions as green alternatives to antibiotics in poultry nutrition: A comprehensive review","volume":"101","author":"Abd El-Hack","year":"2022","journal-title":"Poult.
