Steering Endogenous Butyrate Production in the Intestinal Tract of Broilers as a Tool to Improve Gut Health

Nothing is as well done as by physiology ...
The intestine is a bubbling of life ...
The antibiotic is a drying up of life ...
Sodium butyrate is a real activator of the life bubbling of the contents and the digestive container ... *
Let's be creative, let's be imaginative, be relevant, in our new products, but first of all let's be physiological and honest. Ph.G

Your hypothesis is beautiful, sophisticated, physiological ... I validate the approach.

It is still not validated, the use of calcium salt, away from the capacities of sodium salt, for the absorption of amino acids strictly sodium and still limiting on young ... (filter effect)
As is far from validated, the use of stearin and its fusion point outside the physiological limits, confusing in addition, the more extensive capacities of the poly-gastric and the much more strict and limited capacities of the monogastric. (Length of intestine and transit time)
The physiology is the « Conductor » of digestion, absorption and immunity ... we must follow its measure ... under the risk of disharmony !!!
How can we seriously imagine that "anti-nutritional" solutions are more "intelligent" and more effective than the model of physiology ???

The more exogenous (non-dissociated) Butyrate will arrive in the small intestine more naturally the flora will be oriented towards a decrease of G-, in favor of a flourishing lactic flora which will provide on the site more l-lactate which will serve of nutrient to the bacteria Butyratogens ... which by a starter effect, will arrive soon…
I call this the Physiological « Virtuous Circle » of undissociated Butyrate and this virtuous physiological circle, be sure, has not said its last word.

Mr. Philippe Gossart it is very nice to read your article of stimulating physiology. Can you give me your email i want to discuss some issues on the use of Photogenic growth promoters for poultry.

Though young bird their villi is not fully developed so short chain fatty acid like butyrate can play a significant roles for better growth of the villi better regeneration of intestinal epithelial cells as well and better absorption of nutrients & performances.

A very interesting article. However, I'm curious why there is no mention of MOS in the Prebiotics section? MOS is possibly the most well-proven and widely used prebiotic in general use.
