Evaluation of Prebiotics through an In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion and Fecal Fermentation Experiment: Further Idea on the Implementation of Machine Learning Technique

Foods, 2022
Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that promote the growth of beneficial gut microorganisms and foster their activities. The performance of prebiotics has often been tested in mouse models in which the gut ecology differs from that of humans.

Galacto-oligosaccharides and xylo-oligosaccharides affect meat flavor by altering the cecal microbiome, metabolome, and transcriptome of chickens

Poultry Science, 2022
Studies have shown that prebiotics can affect meat quality; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate whether prebiotics affect the flavor of chicken meat via the gut microbiome and metabolome.

Immunomodulation of Avian Dendritic Cells under the Induction of Prebiotics

Animals, 2020
Although the immunomodulatory properties of prebiotics were demonstrated many years ago in poultry, not all mechanisms of action are yet clear. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the main antigen-presenting cells orchestrating the immune response in the chicken ...
