Abstract: 

Laying hens need to maintain their health status, including their gastrointestinal health until at least 72 weeks of age. Gut microbiota composition is extremely important to gastrointestinal and overall health. Furthermore, the gut-brain axis enables interactions between the enteric microbiota, the enteric nervous system and the central nervous system (Dinan & Cryan,2017). The composition of gastrointestinal microbiota can be affected by animal behavior and vice versa (Neufeld et al., 2011" Berthoud, 2008). The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of early-life intervention on caecal microbiota composition in laying hens.
