Poultry gut health
The efficient conversion of feed into its basic components for optimal nutrient absorption is vital for both broiler and broiler breeder production and welfare. Gut health, an intricate and complex area combining nutrition, microbiology, immunology and physiology, has a key role to play. When gut health is compromised, digestion and nutrient absorption are affected which, in turn, can have a detrimental effect on feed conversion leading to economic loss and a greater susceptibility to disease. In addition, recent changes in legislation on the use of antimicrobials, differing feed requirements and more efficient birds highlight the need for a better understanding of gut function and gut health.

Amine Benarbia (NOR-FEED) Eimeria spp. completes its life cycle within the host’s gastrointestinal tract. its reproduction has been known to damage enterocytes, leading to decreased growth performance and welfare in chickens. Controlling the reproduction cycle and limiting oocyst excretion could explain the observed efficacy of steroidal saponin-based standardized premixture -Norponin XO- (NPXO) supplementation in chicken. The objective of this...

1. Introduction Avian coccidiosis, caused by Eimeria spp., is one of the vulnerable enteric diseases and is endemic in vast areas of the tropical and subtropical regions [1]. It reduces growth performance affecting chicken meat production and accounts for about 30% of the total expenses on medications and other pharmacological products used to control poultry diseases [2]. Out of seven recognized species, E. acervulina, E. necatrix , and E. tenella cause...

INTRODUCTION: The gastrointestinal tract, often referred to as "the gut," is a complex system consisting of several components, including the epithelium, the immune arm, and the commensal bacteria. This intricate structure plays a crucial role in the overall health and well-being of animals. Understanding the defense mechanisms of the gut is vital for maintaining optimal gastrointestinal function and preventing the invasion of harmful pathogens. (Kogut et al .,...

Gut infections can be a major source of efficiency loss, downtime and additional costs for veterinary treatment. Microbiota stabilization is central to the health of the digestive system. By reinforcing the commensal microflora, probiotics help to combat stress and maintain good overall animal health. Aside from the positive effect on productivity, probiotics also help to improve animal welfare.

Copper (Cu) is a vital element involved in cellular metabolism and enzyme systems. At levels greater than nutritional requirements, dietary Cu addition enhances growth performance as a growth promoter (Pesti and Bakalii, 1996). Copper dosing at levels up to 250 mg/kg feed has been shown to improve intestinal structure and function, and alter the intestinal microbiota profile (Di Giancamillo et al., 2018). However, a high level of copper in the sulphate form (CuSO 4 ) which is...

1. Introduction Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by an apicomplexan parasite of the genus Eimeria, which infects different parts of the intestinal tract depending on the species of Eimeria [1]. Eimeria spp. invade intestinal cells and cause physical damage to the intestinal epithelium, producing hemorrhagic diarrhea and disrupting the normal functioning of the intestinal tract [2]. This leads to impaired nutrient absorption and compromised gut health [3]. On the other hand,...

Introduction: “In poultry nutrition, emulsifiers are a type of surfactant used primarily to aid fat digestion by forming stable emulsions in the gut.” Emulsifiers and surfactants are essentially the same in terms of their function, with both terms referring to substances that reduce the surface tension between two immiscible phases, such as oil and water. While "emulsifiers"specifically focus on stabilizing emulsions (mixing two...
