Abstract:
The disclosure relates to isolated microorganisms—including novel strains of the microorganisms—microbial ensembles, and compositions comprising the same. Furthermore, the disclosure teaches methods of utilizing the described microorganisms, microbial ensembles, and compositions comprising the same, in methods for modulating the production of poultry, disease resistance, and egg yield. In particular aspects, the disclosure provides methods of increasing feed efficiency, and methods of preventing colonization of pathogenic microbes.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for inhibiting pathogen colonization in the gastrointestinal tract of fowl, the method comprising:\n a) administering to a fowl an effective amount of a microbial composition comprising:\n i) a purified microbial population that comprises a one or more bacteria with a 16S nucleic acid sequence that shares at least 97% sequence identity with a nucleic acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 1-50 and 59-387 and/or one or more fungi with an ITS nucleic acid sequence that shares at least 97% sequence identity with a nucleic acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 51-58, and \n ii) a carrier suitable for fowl administration, \n wherein the purified microbial population is present in the microbial composition in an amount effective to inhibit pathogen colonization, pathogen prevalence, and/or pathogen abundance in the gastrointestinal tract of a fowl, as compared to a fowl not having been administered the microbial composition.
