The current study aimed to modify the gut microbiota of broiler chickens by in ovo stimulation on d 12 of egg incubation with SB and to determine the changes occurring in intestines. One thousand eggs were incubated and injected with 0.1, 0.3, or 0.5% SB on d 12 of incubation. The control group was injected with physiological saline. Samples collected for analysis were obtained postmortem from 42-day-old ROSS 308 broiler chickens. Growth performance parameters were also monitored during broiler rearing.

The effect of sodium butyrate administered in ovo on the health status and intestinal response in broiler chicken. Poultry Science, 103(10), 104108.
The data was obtained as a part of a project entitled "ActEpi: Activation of the epigenetic mechanisms in poultry through a programming of the gut microbiota", No. UMO-2021/43/D/NZ9/01548, financed by the National Science Center
