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

Has anybody ever fed peas extruded at 300 Fahrenheit being heat extruded? I think it would be like eating raw potato versus french fries.

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.

There are lots of alternative feed ingredients that have not been put into use, especially in Africa, but with the use of beneficial microbes a lot of them can be detoxified and used.
