Livestock: Cows, pigs, sheep, goats – collected from feces or direct intestinal samples to study digestion, health, and antibiotic resistance.

Poultry: Chickens, turkeys – intestinal and cecal samples for microbial diversity and disease prevention studies.

Rodents: Mice, rats, cotton rats – used in controlled research models to study the gut microbiome’s impact on disease and therapy.

Fish Gut Microbiomes: Understanding microbial adaptations in freshwater vs. saltwater environments.

Coral Reef: Associated Microbiota: Studying marine microbiomes’ role in ecosystem health.

Domesticated Animals: Dogs, cats, horses – analyzing skin microbiota to study dermatological health and disease susceptibility.

Livestock and Poultry: Examining microbial populations on feathers, fur, and skin for insights into hygiene and biosecurity.

Rodents: Mice, rats, cotton rats – controlled microbiome studies for human disease modeling.

Other Models: Zebrafish, insects – used to explore host-microbe interactions in controlled settings.
