Identify the impact of different levels of heat and cold stress on stress-related neurochemical production in the gut of chicks following microbiota transplantation. 3. Determine the efficacy of early life microbiota transplantation to protect chickens from foodborne pathogen colonization following heat or cold stress challenge.
