Lactic acid bacteria can colonize the gut, thereby regulating the gut microbiota and improving intestinal health. The study aimed to screen the suitable strains for Suanzhou fermentation and investigate their roles in the chicken gut in vivo. A total of 70 strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Suanzhou were characterized to determine their biofilm formation abilities. The strains with high-yielding biofilms were further characterized for their optimum growth temperature and pH, as well as antibacterial effects. Based on the results of biofilm formation, temperature and pH tolerance, and antibacterial effect experiments, two strains of h8-c and p15-c (<i>Lactiplantibacillus pentosus</i>) with high-yielding biofilms and better antibacterial effects were selected. By establishing a chick <i>Lactobacillus</i> feeding model and using high-throughput techniques to analyze the structure and diversity of the gut microbiota, we investigated changes in the diversity of gut bacteria, fungi, and archaea during and for three weeks after feeding with h8-c and p15-c. The results indicate that h8-c and p15-c may promote the intestinal colonization of <i>lactobacilli</i>, thereby balancing the gut microbiota and enhancing intestinal health in chicks. Furthermore, these strains provide excellent candidates for the industrial fermentation of Suanzhou.
