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.

Introduction Over the years, broilers have become more efficient, with lower feed conversion ratios (FCR; Martinez et al., 2020), more efficient energy partitioning (Martinez et al., 2022d), higher lean body mass contents (Maharjan et al., 2020), higher meat production, with relatively more meat in the breast than the leg quarters (Martinez et al., 2022e). For this reason, they are more sensitive to adverse conditions, such as those affecting gut health and, consequently, the ability...

1. Introduction In poultry nutrition, soybean meal is one of the main protein sources used due to several factors such as the percentage of crude protein (CP), its good amino acid profile, and its bioavailability [1]. However, the existence of antinutritional factors (AF) in soybean meal has been shown to have a considerable effect in reducing the bioavailability of elements in this product, such as phosphorus [2]. There is a variety of AF, including lectin, raffinose, phytate,...
