The background story
Antibiotic resistance is one of the world’s most pressing public health problems. The un-careful use of antibiotics in livestock has drastically increased the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria in livestock, which in turn can cause antibiotic resistant infections in humans – and these illnesses are difficult to cure.
Unless we take effective action, it will become more and more difficult to
treat the world’s most serious diseases. Previous common practice was to use
antibiotics as a preventive measure to improve productivity of livestock.
Luckily, alternatives for antibiotics are readily available of which are proven
to be health improving and thereby improving the production of livestock. By
replacing antibiotics as preventive measures with sustainable alternatives we
can drastically reduce the usage of antibiotics. In turn this expected to
reduce risk of further resistance development (Figure 1).
Support the animals – Prevent pathogenic growth
Unfortunately, current available antibiotic replacers are no one-to-one replacer solution for antibiotics but have to work in a more broad range – enhancing the natural weapons of birds against pathogens. The key to an antibiotic free environment lies in a healthy gut and strong immune system. High performance requires a good balance of the micro flora in the gut.
Most ‘bad’ bacteria are normal inhabitants of the intestine of the animal – with low number they are not causing (sub)clinical problems. Therefore it is neither possible nor healthy to completely eradicate them. A healthy situation is an intestine with high numbers of ‘good bacteria’ and low numbers of ‘bad’ bacteria. To keep a healthy balance it is important to maintain healthy gut conditions such as the right pH environment, the right temperature and the availability of nutrients for the healthy micro flora.
Around 70 percent of all immune cells in the body are located in the gut associated lymphoid tissue. This to give an insight in how the gut is the essential organ for the birds health – it is the most essential barrier against pathogens and a selective barrier for digested feed. The intestine is considered the premium site for immune activation and immune development in broilers as well as layers.
The micro flora forms a complex ecosystem that influences the immune system, feed efficiency and health of the bird in general. It is therefore essential for antibiotic replacers to enhance a healthy and balanced gut environment and micro flora population to induce a high performance.
