Experimental data from pullets and laying hens fed diets supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids or yeast bioactives under different spacing allowances. The dataset includes bacterial enumeration, short-chain fatty acid concentrations, bacterial family abundance profiles, and lung RNA expression data. It was authored by Paul Waliaula and last updated on May 23, 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyzing the impact of dietary omega-3 fatty acids on cecal bacterial communities based on taxonomic abundance data.
- Investigating associations between short-chain fatty acid concentrations and gut microbiota composition based on SCFA-microbiota association analyses.
- Studying the effect of space allowance on lung immune gene expression based on RNA expression data.
- Modeling the relationship between dietary treatments, gut health metrics, and immune responses based on the integrated metadata.
Strengths
- Dataset integrates multiple data types including bacterial counts, chemical concentrations, and gene expression.
- Associated metadata includes controlled experimental variables like dietary treatments and spacing allowance.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
