  • INTESTINAL AND FECAL BIOMARKERS FOR INTESTINAL HEALTH OF POULTRY
    Publication number: 20230160911
    Abstract: Growth performance, health and welfare of domesticated birds such as broilers heavily depends on a well-functioning intestinal tract. Consequently, there is a high need to find biomarkers that are specific for gut damage and that are easily applicable in the field. The present disclosure describes a set of 20 specific proteins that can be quantified in fresh fecal droppings and/or intestinal content of the birds and that each specifically correlate with a damaged gut.
