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.

Héctor Leyva-Jiménez (United Animal Health) Broiler chickens from commercial rearing facilities are subjected to a variety of stressors that increase disease susceptibility and reduce growth. Direct-fed microbials (DFM) can be employed to introduce beneficial bacteria to the digestive tract of poultry and through diverse mechanisms boost performance. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing broiler diets...

Julián Melo (Universidad Nacional de Luján / Dietaxion) In a context of rising prices of feed ingredients, the improvement of the overall feed digestibility and maximum utilization of nutrients in the feedstuffs should be a priority. Previous studies have shown the benefit of a double-buffered sodium butyrate (DBSB) on the performance and intestinal health of broilers fed low energy and protein diets (LEP). The aim of the study was to...

Cristiano Bortoluzzi (dsm-firmenich) The objective of the present studies was to evaluate: (1) the impact of the supplementation with a Precision Biotic (PB) on the modulation of the cecal microbiome collected from broiler chickens submitted to a necrotic enteritis challenge model (Experiment 1); (2) to measure the cecal production of shorth-chain fatty acids (SCFA; Exp. 2). In Exp. 1, day-old chicks were placed on a completely randomized block design...

Over the past decades, genetic improvements have stimulated broiler production resulting in birds weighing ± 3kg in 42 d. To reach this genetic potential, the absorption and digestion of nutrients and according morphological and functional development of the small intestine in the early life must be impeccable. Before hatch, uptake of nutrients by the chicken embryo is limited but rapid increase in villus length and formation of intestinal crypts, have been reported close to hatch and...

Poultry farmers are looking for feed additives to boost the immune system and improve gastrointestinal health in the post-antibiotic era. Bacillus species-based fermented products are an influential and effective alternative to optimize gut health. Bacillus species-based fermented products and their derived antimicrobial cyclolipopeptides Bacillus spp. are gram-positive bacteria with rod-shaped endospores that generate...

I. INTRODUCTION To ensure productivity of poultry farming, the intestinal health of chickens, among other factors, must be considered to achieve maximum nutrient absorption and utilisation for the animals to develop properly (Oleforuh-Okoleh et al., 2015). Nonetheless, with the reduction or ban of the use of performance-enhancing antimicrobials on a worldwide basis, the quest for products able to modulate the intestinal microbiota of birds has intensified. Enzymes, organic acids,...

I. INTRODUCTION Calcium (Ca) is an important nutrient for skeletal development, muscle contraction, nerve impulses, acid-base balance, and a cofactor for blood clotting and endogenous enzymes. Due to the involvement of Ca in numerous functions in the body, accurate supply of dietary Ca is essential for optimal growth, feed efficiency and nutrient utilisation. Oversupply of dietary Ca or an imbalance between dietary Ca and phosphorus (P) has been linked to significant reductions in...

I. BACKGROUND The scale of the Australian chicken-meat industry has increased at an extraordinarily rapid rate so that now chicken-meat is clearly the first preference of consumers in comparison to pork, beef and lamb. In 1990/91, the Australian population was 17.2 million with a per capita chicken-meat consumption of 23.9 kg; however, this increased by 61.0% to 27.7 million people and consumption increased by 100% to 47.8 kg over the 30 years to 2020/21. As a direct consequence, the...
