• Effects of Different Dietary Levels of Mannanoligosaccharide on Growth Performance and Gut Development of Broiler Chickens (2007, background): “VFA, mainly butyrate, can exert a trophic effect not only on the local epithelial cells but also on jejunal structure (Lan et al., 2005).”
• Necrotic enteritis; a continuing challenge for the poultry industry (2006, background): “…both NSP and oligosaccharides interact with the bacteria within the GIT reducing their ability to reside within the GIT while fructo-oligosaccharides act as substrates and also stimulate the immune system (Apajalahti et al., 2001; Kleesen et al., 2003; Lan et al., 2005; Roberfroid, 2005).”
• The Effect of Probiotic and Prebiotic Feed Supplementation on Chicken Health and Gut Microflora: A Review (2012, background): “…of probiotics includes; competitive exclusion (Jin et al., 2000; Alexopoulos et al., 2004; Berchieri et al., 2006), microbial antagonism (Conway, 1996; Kelly and King, 2001; Walsh et al., 2004; Mountzouris et al., 2006) and immune modulation (Cebra, 1999; Perdigon et al., 2001; Lan et al., 2005).”
• Intestinal microbiome of poultry and its interaction with host and diet (2014, background): “By occupying a diverse array of adhering niches along the GI tract, this layer of dense and complex microbial communities can effectively block the attachment and subsequent colonization by most invading enteric pathogens.(103,104) This phenomenon is called “competitive exclusion.”
• Dietary modulation of gut microflora in broiler chickens: a review of the role of six kinds of alternatives to in-feed antibiotics (2009, background): “Furthermore, it is generally agreed that gut microflora is a nutritional “burden” in fast-growing broiler chickens (Dibner and Richards, 2005; Lan et al., 2005) since an active microflora component may have an increased energy requirement for maintenance and a reduced efficiency of nutrient…”
