Intestinal health is critically important for the digestion and absorption of nutrients and thus is a key factor in determining performance. Intestinal health issues are very common in high performing poultry lines due to the high feed intake, which puts

The human body is populated by myriads of microorganisms throughout its surface and in the cavities connected to the outside. The microbial colonisers of the intestine (microbiota) are a functional and non-expendable part of the human organism: they provide genes (microbiome) and additional functions to the resources of our species and participate in ...

Flavonoids are dietary non-nutrient bioactives with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and tea are rich in flavonoids. After consumption, flavonoids are extensively metabolized by the gut microbiota and host tissues. Flavonoid metabolism exhibits extensive variation between individuals. It is plausible that

Gut microbiome and health: mechanistic insights [PDF]
The gut microbiota is now considered as one of the key elements contributing to the regulation of host health. Virtually all our body sites are colonised by microbes suggesting different types of crosstalk with our organs. Because of the development of molecular tools and techniques (ie, metagenomic, metabolomic, lipidomic, metatranscriptomic), the ...

Consumer Antimicrobials on Gut Microbiota and Gut Health [PDF]
Triclosan (TCS) is a high-volume chemical used as an antimicrobial ingredient in over 2000 consumer products such as toothpastes, cosmetics, and toys. Due to its widespread use, it causes ubiquitous contamination in the environment and is frequently detected in the human body, raising concerns about its impact on environmental pollution and human ...
