In this study, we surveyed the changes that occur in both fungal and microbial populations in health commercial broilers. Four complexes were selected from the southern United States over a 12 month period. On each complex, five commercial houses were selected from high producing farms and five houses from low producing farms for a total of ten houses per complex. For microbiome analysis, crop, duodenum, jejunum and cecal, samples were collected from each bird (n = 5/house) and ten farms per complex on d 30-36.
