Abstract
En 中文
In this paper, intestinal microbial habitats in monogastric animals are discussed, with special reference to the intestinal segments of poultry. Physicochemical conditions in different segments vary and determine the selection of microbes that have nutritional and thermodynamic possibilities to thrive in the habitat. Understanding basic microbial ecology is a prerequisite for the knowledge-based development of microbiota modulating feed additives and ingredients. A prevalent research approach involves analysing intestinal parameters and calculating correlations between analytical data, animal health, and performance. However, this method cannot establish causal relationships or capture the dynamics of microbial metabolite production and its uptake by the intestinal brush border.
