Descrizione
A comprehensive overview of gut health optimization strategies in poultry production compares the efficacy of probiotics, prebiotics, phytogenics, and synbiotics across key performance indicators and immune parameters.
More Figures from This Paper
Figure 6
Mechanisms of probiotic action in poultry include competitive exclusion of pathogens, production of bacteriocins, enhancement of intestinal barrier integrity, and stimulation of mucosal immune responses.

Figure 7
Prebiotic supplementation in poultry diets selectively promotes beneficial cecal microorganisms, particularly Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, leading to increased short-chain fatty acid production and improved gut barrier function.

Figure 8
Essential oil compounds from oregano, thyme, and cinnamon demonstrate dose-dependent antimicrobial activity against common poultry pathogens. Their mode of action involves disrupting bacterial cell membrane integrity.

Figure 9
Synbiotic combinations in poultry nutrition show additive or synergistic effects compared to individual probiotic or prebiotic supplementation. Performance metrics including feed conversion ratio and weight gain may improve with optimized formulations.
