The potential mechanistic insights and future implications for the effect of prebiotics on poultry performance, gut microbiome, and intestinal morphology

Poultry Science, 2021
: Prebiotics may modify the biological processes in the chickens' gastrointestinal tract to improve poultry performance and health. Prebiotics are natural feed additives that offer many economic advantages by decreasing mortality rates, increasing growth

Longitudinal profiling of the human gut microbiome reveals temporal and personalized responses to inulin

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study monitored gut microbiome changes in healthy volunteers following inulin intervention, revealing dynamic and highly individualized shifts in microbial composition and short‐chain fatty acid production. Using in vitro batch cultures, correlation analysis, and predictive modeling, we explored the personalized microbiome response.

Effects of the prebiotics inulin and lactulose on intestinal immunology and hematology of preruminant calves

Animal, 2011
Prebiotics are suggested as an alternative to antibiotics in animal rearing. Fermentable substances such as inulin or lactulose have been proposed to stimulate the immune system and health by modulation of the intestinal flora and its fermentation ...

Does probiotic consumption reduce antibiotic utilization for common acute infections? A systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundOverall reduction of antibiotic use is a widely adopted public health goal. Given evidence that consuming probiotics reduce the incidence, duration and/or severity of certain types of common acute infections, we hypothesized that probiotics are

Soyasaponin and vertical microbial transmission: Maternal effect on the intestinal development and health of early chicks

iMeta, EarlyView.
This study investigates the vertical transmission of maternal microbiota in chickens and how it is modulated by maternal soyasaponin supplementation. Using a model spanning the reproductive tract, egg components, and developing chicks, we show that maternal gut and reproductive microbiota, including Bifidobacterium adolescentis (B.
