Poultry: gut health, egg quality and the effects on our food
As for poultry, the technical seminar highlighted the importance of gut health and food safety, egg productivity and egg quality. In a nutshell, algae properties have proved their efficacy to ensure a balance digestive system for a good zootechnical performance. Main message was:
- If the development of the gut and the establishment of a healthy gut flora is disrupted, the gut will no function correctly as the birds’ age.
- Fed-related problems can result in few and smaller eggs, soft-shelled eggs and hens having leg problems.
- Natural alternatives to antibiotics are to be used due to health implications.
