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.
BG-PRO is an intrinsically heat stable, multi-potent protease enzyme feed additive that optimizes the digestibility of proteins in poultry feed ingredients. It is a broad-spectrum protease having acid, neutral & alkaline protease activities that work on all protein sources....

To ensure sustainable animal production, maintaining optimum gastrointestinal health and functionality is essential. A well-developed, balanced and diverse microbiome is the by far the best protection to enhance intestinal health and improve production, providing the best insurance for a good performance. Early 2017 certain medications in the USA will be regulated as of how they are dispensed for chickens. The implementation of the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) will put a stop...

Introduction The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of a chicken harbours a diverse bacterial community in which each bacterium is adapted to its own ecological niche and synergistically lives with other bacterial species in the same community. The composition and function of these communities vary depending on the age of the birds, location in the GI tract and on the dietary components (Shang et al., 2018). The nature of the intestinal microbiota is extremely complex and is...

There are several components of grain and plants that can cause detrimental effects on animal production. These components are commonly known as antinutritional factors. According to their mode of action, anti-nutritional factors can be grouped as follows: Substances that limit or decrease the digestion or metabolism of proteins, ex. lectins and saponins. Substances that interfere or decrease the correct utilization of minerals, ex. phytic acid and oxalic...

For many years reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in biological systems has been considered to be detrimental. However, a pleasant face of ROS has received recently tremendous attention. Indeed, it has been proven that ROS participate in cell signalling, transcription factors regulation and vitagene activation to maintain optimal cellular redox balance and to provide an effective stress adaptation [1]. In fact, redox biology is a very rapidly developing area of modern biological...

1. Introduction The mucosal lining of the small intestine is a highly functional epithelium comprised of absorptive, secretive and sensory cells, which are constantly renewed by multipotent intestinal stem cells (ISC). ISC reside within crypts, and constantly proliferate for self-renewal and generation of progenitor cells, which differentiate into the functional cells that line lumen-facing villi (Carulli et al., 2014; Potten and Loeffler, 1990). Compartmentalization of the...

New research shows the power of vaccination plus feed additives for birds facing intestinal parasites
Necrotic enteritis (NE) can strike young birds seemingly out of nowhere. The disease, which is driven by bacteria and marked by lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, can lead to massive flock mortality.
Poultry scientists have found that flocks can be predisposed to NE when they are...

Botanicals represent a wide class of complex compounds that naturally contain active principles with numerous biological functions. Among them, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions are of key interest to support intestinal health during stressful phases. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of a thymol-based blend of botanicals (BOT) to protect intestinal Caco-2 cells from the damages induced by an inflammatory challenge in vitro. Caco-2 cells were differentiated on...
