Fibre fermentation and the possible role of butyrate in pig health

Fri, 08 Nov 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Dr Helle Nygaard LAERKE (Aarhus Univ, Denmark)

Presentation:
Butyrate, either endogenous (produced by microbiota) or exogenous (supplied by the feed) is a key nutrient for gut metabolism: reducing intestinal inflammation, improving absorptive capacity, strengthening gut barrier resulting in better performance and better meat quality.

Poultry & Swine Conferences 2019

Swine: Managing Sows
Managing sows starts with improving their feed intake, particularly in lactation. Manipulating the feed composition to stimulate endogenous butyrate production, to improve quantity and quality of colostrum and milk will help to support prolificity and piglet performance.

Speaker: Dr Pierre-André Geraert (Scientific Marketing Director, Adisseo France)

Presentation:
What are the keywords to keep in mind: appetite, variability, efficacy, global approach, gut functioning to support a sustainable production of animal proteins.

Managing the indigestible fraction to get more out of the feed with the Feedase approach and maximizing the benefits at the gut level through strengthening redox balance, optimizing microbiota and reinforcing butyrate production are parts of the topics addressed last Oct. But feed intake and appetite are the first step to deal with to support sow productivity.

Maintenance of intestinal barrier function: a key element in inflammatory...

Thu, 31 Oct 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Dr Pascal THIERY (Tech Support Health by Nutrition, Adisseo, France)

Presentation:
Bacillus-based probiotic show a significant effect on reducing the gut inflammatory processes supporting their efficacy on performance and gut health management.

Poultry & Swine Conferences 2019

Poultry: Gut health:
Dietary fibres, short chain fatty acids or probiotics are potential means to improve the gut functioning. Indeed, modifying the gut microbiota, enhancing butyrogenic producing bacteria, reducing gut inflammation, optimizing redox balance contribute to better performance and stress resistance.

Butyrate: a tool for a better gut health

Thu, 22 Aug 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Joshua GONG Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

Presentation:
Butyrate has roles as nutrient and messenger. Protected it stimulates better gut health, through mucosa integrity, reduction of inflammation and better digestive capacities. It also enhances production of anti-inflammatory Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase (IAP), a biomarker of gut health.

Poultry Science Association Annual Meeting 2019

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.

Feeding an ecosystem: how can we feed the beneficial bacteria

Thu, 22 Aug 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Filip van IMMERSEEL Ghent University, Belgium

Presentation:
Defining what is a beneficial microbiota is progressing through experimental models. Stimulating the butyrate producers show positive effects on gut health and animal performance.

Poultry Science Association Annual Meeting 2019

The intestinal frontier integrity: the tight junctions

Tue, 25 Sep 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Dr Raquel MARTIN-VENEGAS, Fac Pharmacy, FFUB, Barcelona, Spain

The selectivity of the intestinal frontier is ensured by the good functioning of the tight functions. Their complex protein structure helps to ensure the intestinal frontier integrity and most of the absorption through the enterocytes and the transcellular pathway. Dietary solutions, such as OH-Met, pro- and pre-biotics can strengthen the tight junctions and thus the intestinal frontier.
