Beneficial microbial signals from alternative feed ingredients: a way to improve sustainability of broiler production?

Published: August 5, 2019

Summary

Chicken meat production is more sustainable and has lower environmental impact than porcine and bovine meat production. Chicken production uses less feed consumed for each kilogram of meat produced and uses less land and water for both farming and feed production (Flachowsky et al., 2017). Moreover, the broiler production industry has, for many years, continuously improved animal performance, ref...

This is a very nice and attractive article but i think it will take a long time to reach to the point that we can know the total microbiota composition and the specific function of each one or group, also to know the end product of each, the synergy or antagonist action between each other. So I think we have to depend on the advanced meta-genomic sequence assembly methods, which can allow us to more understanding the intestinal microbiota composition, grouping , functions, end products and its effects over the different digestibility, gut health and total performance markers.
