Weekly Discussion Topic – October 30, 2023
Happy Monday, Tomorrow Solvers! We are back again with your weekly discussion topic related to poultry disease and management.
This week, we are focusing on the topic of “leaky gut” in poultry. This trend and its impact is featured in this article from The Poultry Site. https://www.thepoultrysite.com/articles/how-does-leaky-gut-impact-poultry.
According to Dr. Kimberle Agle, Immunology Research Manager with Arm & Hammer Animal and Food Production, ““Leaky gut is the common name for when the intestinal lining or the intestinal epithelium loses its cell-cell contacts and begins to leak,” said Agle. “What happens is the noxious contents of the gastrointestinal tract can then mix with the inside of the animal’s body, causing a snowball effect and activation of the immune system that takes away from animal performance and impacts animal health.”
Are these symptoms you’ve come across in your work in poultry production? How have you resolved them? Or, do you find some of the analysis and best practices in the article useful and implementable? Let us know in the discussion comments!
