Abstract

It is generally agreed that good gut health is effective against intestinal pathogens, a strategy that has only been made possible through the removal of antibiotic growth promoters in feed. Creating and maintaining a healthy intestinal environment has become essential to productivity and food safety programmes alike. Maintaining a healthy gut requires up to 25 % of the daily protein and 20 % of the dietary energy supplied with the feed. This strategy should be carefully planned into the dietary programme, in order to not waste resources (Hittel and Lückstädt, 2017).
