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.

Produced by the endogenous bacteria or supplemented through the diet, butyrate exhibits lots of positive effects on intestinal integrity, gut immune function, regulation of gut-brain axis up to acting on pathogens such as Salmonella.

During this Advancia Academy 2019, Worldwide experts answered questions on butyrate from endogenous microbiota or dietary supplementation to strengthen health of the animals.

Butyrate stimulates the activity of the important anti-inflammatory alkaline phosphatase: helping to detoxify the bacterial endotoxins among with LPS and flagellin.
Inducible Heat Shock Proteins (HSP27 and HSP70) maybe activated under stressful conditions to protect the gut.
The endogenous bacteria produced butyrate has been shown to stimulates the iHSP helping the gut. Lastly the role of butyrate as histone deacetylase inhibitor demonstrates its potential on epigenetics.

Salmonella is colonizing the ceca. Thus, butyrate needs to be protected to have an effect against Salmonella through a clear anti-virulence effect by downregulating virulence genes. A large part of antimicrobial use is for intestinal disorders and coated butyrate supplementation shows a reduction in Necrotic enteritis (Clostridium perfringens) occurrence.
Butyrate is a key molecule for strengthening gut integrity, reducing gut inflammation and improving tight junctions. Lots of gut bacteria are butyrate producers helping promoting a better gut health and as feed supplement could further reduce necrotic enteritis and other gut dysbiosis. Cecal butyrate producing bacteria can be stimulated with dietary xylan-oligosaccharides which further increases cross-feeding lactate to butyrate using bacteria.
