Investigating the Effectiveness of Probiotics in Improving Gut Health and Performance in Poultry. MSC

Abstract:
This research project aims to investigate the effectiveness of probiotics in improving gut health and performance in poultry. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits to the host. The study will focus on evaluating the impact of different probiotic strains, dosages, and administration methods on gut microbiota composition, nutrient absorption, immune response, and overall performance of poultry. By understanding the effects of probiotics on poultry gut health, valuable insights can be gained to optimize their use and enhance the productivity and welfare of poultry.
