Boosting beneficial microbial diversity in poultry

Selected yeast fraction is well known to improve the gut morphology, reduce pathogen pressure, and enhance the immune system of poultry. A new study has investigated whether this solution can also modulate intestinal microbiota. A healthy functioning intestine is heavily reliant on a balanced gut microbiota, which is essential for the metabolism and absorption of consumed nutrients and other compounds. A flourishing microbiota is characterised by diverse microbial genera which increases intesti
