Nutritional steering of intestinal health to control Salmonella

Thu, 31 Oct 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Richard DUCATELLE (Ghent Univ., Belgium)

Presentation:

Managing the gut environment is an efficient way to reduce Salmonella development: reducing available substrates, strengthening the gut frontier, improving immune response are all tools to reduce Salmonella.

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.

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 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.
