Strategies for enhancing gut health, performance

Learn how to improve GI tract functionality and proper nutrition management to increase animal performance and production.

Structure of peptidoglycans and the impact on gastrointestinal tract functionality 

Structure of peptidoglycans

Research strives to elucidate meaningful relationships between the host mucosal immune system, the microbiome, and feed ingredients. As we search deeper and consider non‐ingredient components, the peptidoglycan (PGN) content in the GIT lumen and subsequent effects on digestibility and absorption looms into view.

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. Therefore, the gastrointestinal microbiota has a significant impact on host or animal welfare.
