Essential oils mix effect on chicks ileal and caecal microbiota modulation: a metagenomics sequencing approach.

Introduction: Microbiota plays a pivotal role in promoting the health and wellbeing of poultry. Essential oils (EOs) serve as an alternative solution for modulating poultry microbiota. This study aimed to investigate, using amplicon sequencing, the effect of a complex and well-defined combination of EOs feed supplement on both ileal and caecal broiler microbiota, within the context of and intestinal colonization.

Monophasic Variant of Typhimurium Infection Affects the Serum Metabolome in Swine.

is the most relevant foodborne zoonotic agent found in swine, and its presence in French herds is significant. Its carriage is asymptomatic, which makes it difficult to detect during rearing, thus increasing the risk of its presence on pork meat. Studies have shown that enteric infection in animals could be associated with changes in the serum metabolome composition, through the immune response or changes in the digestive microbiota composition.

Prevalence and Antimicrobial Resistance of Dublin and Thermotolerant in Liver from Veal Calves in Québec, Canada.

Dublin and spp. are two foodborne pathogens of importance. A small number of studies reported that consumption of veal liver was associated with an increased risk of human illness from these two pathogens.

Intestinal Colonization of and Its Hepatic Dissemination Are Associated with Local and Systemic Immune Responses in Broiler Chickens.

is an important foodborne pathogen. Despite the lack of clinical signs associated with its colonization in poultry, it has been reported to interact with the intestinal immune system. However, little is known about the interaction between and the chicken immune system, especially in the context of hepatic dissemination.

A short-term bioreactor assay to assess the effect of essential oils on a microbiota derived from piglet's intestinal content.

Background: Modulating the microbiota is an emerging way to improve pig health. In-vitro bioreactor systems can be used to reproduce intestinal microbiota to study modulating avenues. In this study, a continuous feeding system to support a microbiota derived from piglet colonic contents, over 72 h, was developed.
