The use of "omics" has become widespread across poultry production, from breeding to management to bird health to food safety and everywhere in between. While the conventional poultry industry has become more exposed to the power and utility of "omic" technologies, smaller poultry flock producers typically do not have this same level of experience. Because smaller, nonconventional poultry production is a growing portion of the overall poultry market, it is important that they also have educational access to these research tools and the resultant data. While small flock producers are dedicated and knowledgeable farmers, their knowledge of these newer technologies may be limited at best, and it is the task of academic researchers to communicate the importance of these "omic" tools and how the omic data can improve a variety of different aspects of their operations. This review discusses ways to effectively communicate complex microbiota and microbial genome sequence data to small flock producers and transforming this data into meaningful and applicable information that they can utilize to inform beneficial management decisions.
“组学”的应用在禽类生产中已经非常广泛，从育种到管理，从禽鸟健康到食品安全，无所不包。虽然传统的家禽业已经越来越多地接触到“组学”技术的威力和实用性，但规模较小的家禽养殖场通常没有相同的经验。由于规模较小、非常规的家禽生产在整个家禽市场中所占份额不断增加，因此，它们也应该能够获得这些研究工具和由此产生的数据的教育机会。尽管小型家禽养殖场的养殖户们都很敬业，也很有知识，但他们对这些新技术的了解可能最多也就是一知半解，而将这些“组学”工具的重要性以及组学数据如何能够改善他们运营的各个方面的知识传达给他们，正是学术研究人员的任务。这篇综述讨论了如何有效地将复杂的微生物组和微生物基因组序列数据传达给小型家禽养殖场，并将这些数据转化为他们可以用来做出有益的管理决策的有意义且适用的信息。
