Our HistoryClick on the image below for video presentation the Chr. Hansen company history  |
The gastrointestinal tract is the largest surface area between the body and the external environment. The gastrointestinal tract is a complex series of organs and glands that processes feed into energy and concequently into profit in the form of meat and eggs.
The gastrointestinal tract is highly populated with bacteria. It is widely recognized that these bacteria have a great impact on growth and health through their effect on gut morphology, nutrition, immune responses and pathogenesis of intestinal diseases. The intestinal bacterial composition can be manipulated through dietary changes and by a variety of feed additives.
As the gastrointestinal tract is open to the external environment it is potentially exposed to pathogenic organisms and other harmful components that are introduced by ingestion. It is the intactness of the intestine and the balance of the bacterial flora that keep the structure and function of the gastro intestinal tract thus overall health of the bird. Maintenance of the intestinal health enables the bird to exploit it’s full genetic potential for growth and yield by fully utilizing the dietary nutrients ingested.
