Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Sun, 07/13/2025 - 22:08Realizing the genetic potential of monogastric animals depends on a well-functioning gastrointestinal tract, which not only digests and absorbs nutrients but also protects against harmful microflora. This intestinal function is energetically expensive, requiring up to 40% of daily protein and energy intake to support rapid enterocyte turnover – these cells are replaced approximately every three days. This article reviews current perspectives on using probiotics, prebiotics, and butyric acid-based complexes in modern industrial pig and poultry farming.
