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.
Ryan Arsenault (University of Delaware) presented research that allows a better understanding of the changes to the modern broiler immune system due to selective pressures, during the 8th Symposium on Gut Health in Production of Food Animals in St. Louis, USA....

Gut health across multiple species has become a key area of focus in product development. On the human side, formulators are looking to take live probiotics into areas that were once unreachable; and on the animal side, they seek to improve digestive processes in monogastric animals...

1. INTRODUCTION Necrotic enteritis is an emerging worldwide disease of poultry. It is characterized by sever diarrhea, necrotic inflammation of the intestinal tract and necrotic foci in liver, kidney and cecum (Kohler, 2000). The disease resulting in severe economic losses that exceed 2 billion US dollar / year due to bird losses, treatment costs and cost of disease preventive measures (Lovland and Kaldhusdal, 2001). Necrotic enteritis has two clinical forms in chickens; the...

1. Generalities Gastrointestinal infections with pathogenic bacteria y the subsequent clinical expression of disease occur frequently in young animals under current intensive production systems. Infections are responsible growth rates and consequently cause economic losses in animal production. Antibiotics modify the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and are the main available tool to prevent and treat...

INTRODUCTION
The human population is projected to grow to 9~10 billion by the year 2050 (Godfray et al., 2010). As a consequence of the population explosion, food animal production would confront a new array of challenges. Among these are global food security, climate change, emerging infectious diseases, regulatory ban on use of antimicrobials, high-density production conditions, and waste management (Grasty, 1999; Turnpenny et al., 2001; Bohannon, 2004)....

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract harbors a diverse population of microbes consisting of not only bacteria, but also fungi, viruses, and protozoa. While much work has been focused on the characterization of intestinal bacterial community, very little is known about the fungal community, or mycobiota, in different animal species and chickens in particular. Here we characterized the biogeography and maturation of the mycobiota in the GI tract of broiler chicks and further examined its possible...

A balanced microbiota is vital for the intestine to have good function, in addition to gut integrity. The microbiota is formed by non-pathogenic microorganisms, which are of key importance for the metabolism and the absorption of nutrients and other compounds consumed by animals. A healthy microbiota has a high diversity of microbial genera in perfect balance, allowing an increase in the metabolic capacity of the intestine. Beneficial microbiota assists in the digestion and...

Sunflower meal is considered as a high-fiber ingredients, and affects the GIT heath in poultry, by attracting and trapping too much water in the hind gut, ending in wet droppings, and possibly in dirty eggs as the fibers in sunflower meal are highly soluble and viscous. How can this challenge be corrected nutritionally? ...
