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.

Antioxidant-Prooxidant balance in the gut: health implication for poultry and...

Speaker: Prof Peter SURAI (Feed-Food Ltd, Glasgow, UK)

Presentation:
Optimizing the gut redox balance strengthens the intestinal frontier and helps to guarantee optimal performance under stressful conditions.

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.

The pro-prebiotic effect of enzymes: their roles on gut health

Thu, 31 Oct 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Dr Lamya RHAYAT (CERN, Adisseo, France)

Presentation:
Enzymes modify the substrates reaching the ileum, thus modulating the microbiota. The benefits of enzymes also lay on those effects: stimulating the butyrogenic bacteria, improving the absorptive capacity and reducing the gut inflammation.

Poultry & Swine Conferences 2019

Feedase, fibres & P:

The complexity of the indigestible fractions of the feed require a multi-enzyme approach. But enzymes are specific to substrates and a better knowledge of the target substrates is key to value the enzymes. Enzymes modify the substrates reaching the distal intestine thus also exhibit an effect beyond digestibility.

How various non-AGP strategies can reduce the systemic effects of inflammation

Thu, 22 Aug 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Dr Doug KORVER Univ of Alberta, Canada

Presentation:
Non-antibiotic strategies to control gut microbes, may directly or indirectly affect systemic inflammation. Thus, only using different and complementary alternative solutions with different mechanisms would appear efficient to help reduce medication and maintain productivity.

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.

What is an ideal feed additive for broilers and how can we assess this?

Tue, 02 Jul 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Steven RICKE, Director of Food Safety, Univ of Arkansas, USA

Alternative to antibiotics must be acceptable and effective with detectable and consistent improvements in pathogen control and in animal performance. Modes of action need to be known and multiple hurdle approaches need to be developed.

Potential of enzymes to buffer variability

Speaker: Natalie MORGAN (UNE, Australia)

Presentation:
Supplementary enzymes have the potential to reduce the variability between batches of ingredients and within animal flocks.

Advancia Academy 2019

Variability: the nutritionist’s nightmare:

How to monitor its impact to improve feed formulation?

Feed is the largest contributor to the cost of animal protein production. It is therefore, the main cause of uncertainty and anxiety for nutritionists and feed formulators. Dealing with variability to prepare consistent feeds is the objective of nutritionists worldwide.

There are no bad raw materials… only wrongly evaluated and incorrectly used raw materials.

Dietary modulation of gut microbial short-chain fatty acid metabolism

Wed, 24 Apr 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Dr Petra LOUIS, the Rowett Institute, Aberdeen, UK

Microbiota has multiple functions and effects on the host: barrier against pathogens, immune interactions, release and transform dietary phytochemicals, xenobiotics and host metabolites, produce short chain fatty acids that influence host health.
Non digestible carbohydrates or fibres are important substrates for this gut microbiota as well as resistant starch greatly influence the microbiota composition and metabolism. More than the individual bacteria types, the metabolic bacterial network is important through the cross-feeding between fibre-degrading, oligosaccharide users, lactate or acetate producers which will give substrate for butyrate producers. Some carbohydrates are more butyrogenic or propionigenic. Similar interactions exist in amino acids and proteins within the microbial community. Future will be based on modelling microbiota metabolism showing that interactions between microbes, environment (pH, …) and dietary substrates (indigestible fractions) are essential.

Tue, 25 Sep 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Filip VAN IMMERSEEL, Vet Medicine, Ghent Univ, Belgium

Mucosa-associated bacterial communities are important for gut health. Butyrate-producing bacteria seem essential. Feeding strategies (eg prebiotics such as AXOS, probiotics) can steer towards butyrogenic (mucosa-associated) taxa in the gut. Biomarkers of the host response are important tools for the development of future efficient gut health solution. Butyrate, even from dietary origin, seems to have potency to reduce effect of pathogens in the intestine.
