Abstract
Evaluation of a Commercially Available Probiotic and Organic Acid Blend Product on Production Parameters and Economics in Broiler Breeders
Highlights
The GIT is more densely populated with microorganisms than any other organ and is an interface where the microflora may have a pronounced impact on animal biology [1]
Comparison of rodents raised without exposure to any microorganisms, to those colonized with an assembly of microbiota revealed a wide range of host functions affected by indigenous microbial communities
The microbiota directs the assembly of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue [5], helps educate the immune system [6], affects the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier [7], modulates proliferation and differentiation of its epithelial lineages [8], regulates angiogenesis [9], modifies the activity of the enteric nervous system [10], and plays a key role in extracting and processing nutrients consumed in the diet [11]
Summary
The GIT is more densely populated with microorganisms than any other organ and is an interface where the microflora may have a pronounced impact on animal biology [1]. Comparison of rodents raised without exposure to any microorganisms, to those colonized with an assembly of microbiota revealed a wide range of host functions affected by indigenous microbial communities. The microbiota directs the assembly of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue [5], helps educate the immune system [6], affects the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier [7], modulates proliferation and differentiation of its epithelial lineages [8], regulates angiogenesis [9], modifies the activity of the enteric nervous system [10], and plays a key role in extracting and processing nutrients consumed in the diet [11]. Some organisms grow on intermediate products of fermentation such as H2, lactate, succinate, formate, and ethanol; converting these to end products including short chain fatty acids, a process which has direct benefits on digestive physiology [12]
