In a recent video interview with Kay Russo, technical services veterinarian at Novonesis, Poultry World editor Iris Hofman explored the inner workings of probiotics and their role in supporting bird welfare.

When discussing probiotics, the first thing that comes to mind is gut health and that is indeed at the core of the feed additive. But how does gut health affect welfare? For that we delve into the importance of the microbiome and discuss why it is so vital for our industry to consider.

Furthermore our interviewee explains what the impact of gut-brain microbiota axis is on the bottom line of the farm and how serotonin productions impacts a bird’s performance and well-being.

Watch the interview to learn more about how effective probiotics can impact farm profitability and at the same time improve bird welfare.
