GIT microbiota diagram

Optimal gastrointestinal function is influenced by many factors, including gut microbiota and the way it interacts with the host. In fact, the gastrointestinal microbiota has proven to modulate the development of the gastrointestinal tract and improve its morphology, stimulating the development of the gastrointestinal immune system, promoting host nutrition and reducing gastrointestinal pathogens. Therefore, the gastrointestinal microbiota has a significant impact on host or animal welfare.
