Advancements in animal nutrition management enhance gut health, performance

Advancements in animal nutrition management enhance gut health, performance

Improve animal intestinal functionality, performance and health through research advancements in proper nutrition management.

Structure of peptidoglycans and the impact on gastrointestinal tract functionality 

Structure of peptidoglycans
Research elucidates meaningful relationships between the host mucosal immune system, the microbiome, and feed ingredients. Considering non‐ingredient components, the peptidoglycan (PGN) content in the GIT lumen and subsequent effects on digestibility and absorption looms into view.

“Gut Health” in Animal Nutrition: Components of GI functionality

“Gut Health” in animal nutrition? 
Components of GI functionality
While gut health is an increasingly important and popular topic in animal nutrition, a clear scientific definition is still lacking. A definition is needed in order to evaluate the effects of any nutritional intervention on animal health and performance.

Waste in the Gut: Peptidoglycans of Bacterial Origin GIT microbiota diagram Optimal gastrointestinal function is influenced by many factors, including gut microbiota and the way it interacts with the host. In fact, the gastrointestinal microbiota has proven to modulate the development of the gastrointestinal tract and improve its morphology, stimulating the development of the gastrointestinal immune system, promoting host nutrition and reducing gastrointestinal pathogens. Therefore, the gastrointestinal microbiota has a significant impact on host or animal welfare.

Vitamin, trace mineral specifications

The need to review nutritional specifications with change in time, genetics, feed, environment and other factors affecting such

vitamins trace minerals animal feeds
project to update nutritional specifications for animal nutrition consulting services
review of nutritional components including vitamin and trace mineral profiles for all species including but not limited to porcine, avian, ruminants, pseudo-ruminants, hind-gut fermenters, reptiles, amphibians, aquatic species including fish, shrimp and such others.
Review of nutritional specifications is due with changes in time, genetics, feeds, environment and legislation.
Recommended to follow Dr. D. H. Baker's advice to review published literature first, and then apply experience (and the legal compliance to evaluate each mineral and vitamin.
review specifications to make sure you are still using the correct levels.
