Nutrition rebalancing under antibiotic-free strategies and challenging...

Speaker: Dr Mike PERSIA Virginia Tech, USA

Presentation:
Digestive pathogens affect amino acid and energy digestibilities. Coccidiosis specifically affects fat metabolism more than lean deposition while Clostridium seems to affect lean and fat metabolisms more equally.

The bird and its ecosystem:
A global approach for an efficient production.
How to work with a complete and dynamic ecosystem is the challenge facing today’s nutritionist. Having a global and integrative view of how the intestinal microbiome and the animal’s body function together is the basis of sustainable nutrition.

Mechanistic understanding of intestinal barrier dysfunction induced by heat...

Speaker: Prof Sami DRIDI Univ of Arkansas, USA

Presentation:
Understanding and mediating the effect of heat stress on gut barrier function is key for future development in poultry production. The role of dsRNA dysmetabolism in mediating the effect of heat stress on gut barrier integrity and function is shown.

Intestinal functionality: the dichotomy between nutrient and barrier function

Wed, 26 Sep 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Todd APPLEGATE, Poult Sci Dept, Univ Georgia, USA

The gut is adaptive and responds to ingredient matrix and bacterial environment. But these responses can alter endogenous maintenance as well as nutrient and energy digestibility. The gut response to pathogens depends on their amount, their virulence and of predisposing factors (e.g. cocci, mucin type, etc.). Gut immunological responses may vary nutrient “needs” with changes in tissue maintenance needs and nutrient use efficiencies.

Feed digestibility under hot conditions

Thu, 05 Apr 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Ravindran, Poultry Science Department, Massey Univ, New Zealand

Nutrient digestibility is often reduced under hot conditions, but nutrient utilization is even more depressed leading to less protein retention independently of reduced feed intake.

What about intestinal barrier or intestinal integrity?

Fri, 15 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Speakers: Prof Richard DUCATELLE, Prof Filip VAN IMMERSEEL

The intestinal lumen represents where the outside world is in closest contact with the blood. Integrity of the intestinal wall and strong tight junctions are key for healthy gut.

The size of the feed particles is also an important parameter affecting gut microbiota. Prof Richard Ducatelle and Filip van Immerseel debate on the importance of the gut and its microbiota on the performance of the animals. Knowing better the indigestible part is key to improve gut functioning.

ESPN 2017

The European Symposium on Poultry Nutrition organized every two years by WPSA is the major scientific event in poultry production.

2017 was truly a success with participants from all over the world.
