White-feathered broilers (1 day old, n = 600) were randomly assigned to two groups and raised for six weeks. The individuals in the LPJZ-658 group were supplemented with 2.6 \u00d7 109 cfu\/g LPJZ-658. The growth performance, meat quality, intestinal epithelium morphology, and cecal microbiota were observed. The results showed that the average daily gain, average daily feed intake, and feed conversion ratio of broilers in the LPJZ-658 group were significantly improved. In addition, the LPJZ-658 groups had a higher thigh muscle (TM) yield, TM color, TMpH24h, breast muscle (BM) pH24h, and BM color24h, while the BM cooking loss was significantly lower than the CON group. Moreover, supplementation with LPJZ-658 increased ileum and cecum length, duodenum and ileum villus height, and ileum villus height\/crypt depth ratio. Furthermore, 16S rRNA sequencing revealed the dietary LPJZ-658 supplementation modulated the diversity and composition of cecal microflora. At the phylum level, the relative abundances of Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobiota, and Acidobacteriota were significantly higher. In addition, LPJZ-658 substantially decreased the genus relative abundances of Streptococcus, Veillonella, Neisseria, and Haemophilus compared with the CON group and facilitated the growth and colonization of beneficial cecal bacteria, such as OBacteroides, Phascolarctobacterium, Bacillus, and Akkermansia. It was concluded that LPJZ-658 supplementation significantly increased growth production, improved meat quality and intestinal status, and modulated the intestinal microbiota in the broilers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms11061549","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,12]],"date-time":"2023-06-12T01:28:21Z","timestamp":1686533301000},"page":"1549","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LPJZ-658 Supplementation on the Production, Meat Quality, Intestinal Morphology, and Cecal Microbiota of Broilers Chickens"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Liming","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science and Technology, Jilin Agricultural Science and Technology University, Jilin 132101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Letian","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit of Key Technologies for Prevention and Control of Virus Zoonoses, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Changchun Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Changchun 130122, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunhua","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science and Technology, Jilin Agricultural Science and Technology University, Jilin 132101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haiyang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science and Technology, Jilin Agricultural Science and Technology University, Jilin 132101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiufeng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science and Technology, Jilin Agricultural Science and Technology University, Jilin 132101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qingdan","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jilin Provincial Animal Husbandry General Station, Changchun 130062, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heping","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science and Engineering, Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, Huhhot 010010, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ningyi","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit of Key Technologies for Prevention and Control of Virus Zoonoses, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Changchun Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Changchun 130122, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3267-1859","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Unit of Key Technologies for Prevention and Control of Virus Zoonoses, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Changchun Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Changchun 130122, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0095-2573","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cuiqing","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science and Technology, Jilin Agricultural Science and Technology University, Jilin 132101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102585","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psj.2023.102585","article-title":"Combined effects of sodium butyrate and xylo-oligosaccharide on growth performance, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology and microbiota of broilers at early stage","volume":"102","author":"Deng","year":"2023","journal-title":"Poult.
