Gut health and dysbiosis

Maintaining the balance of the gut flora is key to preventing dysbiosis. Preventing dysbiosis can improve poultry performance, health and welfare. It also can reduce the environmental impact of the poultry industry. Normally, the small intestine contains few bacteria, but the large intestine and caeca contain billions of commensal bacteria (referred to as the intestinal microbiome). The microbiome significantly impacts gut health and contributes to the overall health status of the chicken host.
