In recent years, the efforts of the scientific community to improve the intestinal health of domestic birds have increased exponentially.
Its implications on the health and welfare of animals, the improvement in productive efficiency, food safety and sustainability are of great relevance, so understanding and controlling the mechanisms involved in intestinal health are key to the future of the poultry production.
This seminar aims to focus on Necrotic Enteritis as one of the main intestinal pathologies in birds and to describe the nutritional strategies that are currently being followed to improve intestinal health.
It will also be exposed how the use of feed additives (probiotics) can improve animal health and performance from a scientific point of view and how the new technologies -omics ((meta-) genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics) are already a turning point in research in animal nutrition and health.
