Florfenicol-induced dysbiosis disrupts cecal homeostasis and compromises disease resistance in chickens. Florfenicol-induced dysbiosis impairs cecal homeostasis by reducing butyrate levels, which increased the susceptibility to APEC infection (left). By restoring homeostasis, butyrate administration reduces the risk of APEC infection (right)
