We have the notion that one of the key factors to achieve and maintain the adequate structure and functions of the digestive tract is the microbiota that resides there; which in turn influences the level of general health and productivity of the animals. This round table addresses the need to use more standardized methodologies to characterize the composition of the microbiota in birds (metagenomi ...

The quantitative investment in immune defenses is thought to be under tight evolutionary control because they must be sufficient to thwart pathogens without excessively consuming resources (e.g. nutrients and energy) needed for other important processes or causing immunopathology (Ardia et al., 2010, Schmid-Hempel, 2011). In poultry production there is concern that the immune system competes for n ...

A very interesting topic indeed. And difficult to address in few paragraphs.
I just want to point out that the feed, beside to provide nutrients for all the animal cells and tissues (including those involved with the immune system), also has an effect on the intestinal microbiota; and the characteristics of this microbiota have a big influence on the functionality of the digestive tract, the imm ...
