Active Transport : Glucose absorption and Amino acids absorption into the epithelial cells. •Active mean that the membrane protein 'pump' requires energy to function •The source of energy is ATP from respiration •This moves the molecules from low to high concentration against the concentration gradient •The energy causes a shape change in the protein that allows it to move the molecule to the other side of the membrane.
ABSORCIÓN: TRANSPORTE ACTIVO
06/04/2013
Many substances in the diet are composed of small molecules that need little or no digestion. These include sugars, mineral ions, vitamins and water. These are absorbed bydifferent transport mechanisms:
•Cholesterol and the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are absorbed into the epithelial cells of the ileum by lipid diffusion
•Mineral ions and water-soluble vitamins are absorbed by passive transport in theileum•Dietary monosaccharides are absorbed by active transport in the ileum
•Water is absorbed by osmosis in the ileum and colon.
TGI DEL AVE: FUNCION Y ESTRUCTURA
• To improve gut health, a clear understanding of the STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THEGUT is important..
• Birds also have high numbers of intestinal villi and high EPITHELIAL TURNOVER RATE (48 to96 h), and rapid inflammatory response (less than 12 hours, as compared to 3-4 days inmammals), which makes them more susceptible to disturbances in absorptive capacity thanmammals.

Intestinal Integrity in Broilers Frederic J. Hoerr, DVM, PhD
Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama, USA
• The term “intestinal integrity” is difficult to define.
• THE EFFICIENCY OF NUTRIENT DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION IS LIMITED BY THEFUNCTIONAL SURFACE AREA OF THE INTESTINAL TRACT WHICH IS ITSELF DEPENDANT ONTHE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF A HEALTHY INTESTINAL LINING.
• Intestinal integrity for commercial poultry can be defined as the maintenance of intestinalhealth to enable the expression of the full genetic potential for growth and yield and tohealth to enable the expression of the full genetic potential for growth and yield and tofully utilize the dietary nutrients.
• Evaluation of intestinal integrity in broiler production involves multiple approaches that involveassessment of production records, clinical examination of the flock, necropsy examination, andhistopathology. Additional assessments are applied for research purposes.
• Evaluation of intestinal integrity should be an ongoing activity within a broiler productionprogram.

Maintaining Gut IntegrityBy Dr. Harish V. Dharne, head of Avitech’s Business Promotion and
Knowledge Resource Centre
Nutrition and gut health are closely related in commercial poultry production.
• Diet formulation and feed management can have a marked effect on gut health greatlyinfluencing nutrient utilization and growth of the animal.
• Gut health problems arise due to improper nutrition and an unhygienic environmentespecially during the early stages of chick development.
• For cost effective and sustainable commercial operations there is need to:
1. Maintain natural gut health through proper nutrition and a clean environment, and
2. Effective treatment of an existing gut disorder.

Factores QUE INFLUYEN SOBRE LA INTEGRIDAD INTESTINAL
a. Physical barriers: Intestinal integrity is compromised when the mucus layer is degraded;epithelial cells are effaced or destroyed, the vascular supply is interrupted, or the immunesystem is compromised. Viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and toxins can damage this. +++
b. Stress factors: Gut environment is also altered by several stress factors to the birds likehandling, transportation, overcrowding, abrupt changes in environment etc.
c. Feed toxins and toxicants: Feed toxins and toxicants can also affect the gut integrity.c. Feed toxins and toxicants: Feed toxins and toxicants can also affect the gut integrity.
d. Dietary factors: Nutritional deficiency due to imbalance in ration formulation, grainengorgement, microbial load in feed etc. affect gut health. The nature of the diet, for examplepresence of non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) especially soluble fractions in the diet providesubstrate for the growth of undesirable bacteria and accumulation of fermentation productsaffecting the gut severely. Insoluble NSP is a major problem leading to soiling of litter.
06/04/2013
e. Health status: Diseases like coccidiosis and fowl plague are found to affect the gutintegrity severely. Infections, injuries etc. also affect gut health.
f. Gut micro flora:
The rich bacterial community that make up the gut micro flora play animportant role for the host through changes in the morphology of gut,nutrition, pathogenesis of enteric diseases, immune response and alterationsin colonization resistance.in colonization resistance.
The shift in composition of this microflora results in production and efficiencylosses often in the absence of any clinical signs. Useful microbes (commensalbacteria) in gut play a positive role in controlling the gut flora and stimulatethe development of the gut wall. Hence, microbial balance of gut is utmostimportant in maintaining gut integrity.
g. Beak deformity: Beak deformity preventing proper feed consumption may impair guthealth.
06/04/2013
a. Natural Physical Barriers that Help to Maintain Intestinal Integrity
• Physical barriers protect against the entry of foreign materials and organisms into the bloodstream andaccess to other viscera thus helping intestinal integrity. On occasion due to improper nutrition or anunhygienic environment, when the load of foreign invaders increase these barriers are breached.
1. Mucus (a protective1. Mucus: material secreted by intestinal cells) is a barrier to bacterial and fungalinvasion. It is broken by some enzymes (eg. mucinolytic, urease). Poultry feeds with under cooked soymeal may contain urease.meal may contain urease.
2. Gut epithelial cells (enterocytes): These cells form a semi-permeable surface that selectively allowspassage of fluid, electrolytes, and dissolved nutrients. Every epithelial cell in the digestive tract is part ofa continuous physical barrier. When organisms and toxic agents damage epithelial cells, the integrity ofthis protective barrier is broken.
3. Fluid secretion: fluid having large amounts of water mixed with electrolytes. The fluid in the upper smallintestine is protective and keeps bacteria in suspension and washes them downstream.
4. Vascular supply: supply under the gut epithelial layer serves to rapidly dilute and carry away any agentsor chemicals (endogenous or exogenous) that may breach the mucosal barrier.

f. MICROORGANISMOS Y EL TGI
• Integridad anatómica y fisiológica (Estructura y Función).
• Microbiota del TGI: parte integral de la salud del TGI e influencia el desarrollo de la microanatomia, ayudaa los procesos digestivo, estimula el desarrollo del sistema inmune entérico y puede proteger contra lainvasión de patógenos.
• Sistema inmune mucosal: la mucosa intestinal tiene una función de barrera, pero también puede generaruna respuesta inmune protectiva contra patógenos.

INTEGRIDAD INTESTINAL & MICROORGANISMOS: Dr. Jose Barragan, Poultry Nutrition Specialist and Consultant of Spain
• Because many factors can lead to changes in the bacterial population and to enteritis — ranging fromperistaltic movements to bacterial spores in the feed — it isn’t always easy to determine when nutrition iscontributing to the problem. However, one way to help identify diet as a contributor is to test the level ofprotein and fats in feces.
• “If you find an increase in the level of protein or fat in the feces, you know that you have a digestionproblem and you need to check your raw materials,” Barragan said. “The idea is to adapt dietaryformulations to the broiler gut. Don’t wait for broilers to adapt their gut to the diet.”formulations to the broiler gut. Don’t wait for broilers to adapt their gut to the diet.”
• Dr. Barragan, who described the broiler’s intestines as a “complex ecosystem,” said that it takes about 15days for the bird to develop a mature bacterial population.
• “This is one of the reasons why broiler nutrition is so important during the first 15 days of life,” he said.

Higher villi in the jejunum (p<0.01) were seen when Bacillus subtilis-based probiotics were used compared to diets without this additive
06/04/2013 Cervantes, Phibro Animal Health Corp. EUA, 2011
VD was higher when probiotics based on Bacillus subtilis were used together with prebioticsbased on MOS, compared to the use of probiotics based on Bacillus sp alone. It was alsohigher in the birds fed the probiotics containing a bacterial pool compared to thosecontaining only one culture (probiotic 1). The results suggest that, in order to obtain higherVD (consequently higher nutrient absorption area), it is necessary to use MOS-basedsaccharides when probiotics based in only one bacterial culture are used.On the other hand, they would be not necessary if the probiotics has many bacterialcultures, as observed for probiotic 2.

NUTRICIÓN TEMPRANA Y SALUD INTESTINAL
� Good start is an important factor in MAXIMIZING PROFITS from broiler operations.
� Early nutrition mainly in the first 7 days of life for broilers may program the birds' systems and set a
pattern for growth and productivity. A large percentage of early growth (2 to 5 times the growth rate of
other tissues) occurs in the digestive tract and those organs involved in digestion.
� If digestive growth is retarded during this time period, overall growth rate may be compromised. Further
newly hatched chicks are more prone to gut infections as its natural defense is yet to be strengthened. So
proper care should be taken during this time period.
� Feeding of chicks:Feeding of chicks:
� Access to nutrients post hatch has a major impact on the immediate and long-term development of the
chick.
� The immediate post hatch period is critical for the development of all systems in chicks including the
immune system.
� The development of bursa and spleen is responsive to environmental stress at an early age in chicks.
Delayed access to nutrients post hatch reduces the relative weight of bursa and spleen.
� The passage of feed that is not sterile, through TGI exposes the bursa to a variety of antigens. So the
earlier the chicks are fed post hatch, the sooner will the proliferation stem cell meet environmental
antigens. This clearly suggests that early nutrition is important in laying a strong foundation for the health
status of birds in a situation where little or no antibiotics are allowed in their feed. Suitable feed additives
should be added in the starter diet as precautionary measure that will ensure better health and
productivity.

ROL DE FACTORES DIETARIOS – MEJORA DE LA INTEGRIDAD INTESTINAL
• Quality feed ingredients: Supplementation of quality feed ingredients helps in
maintaining natural gut health.
• Processed feed: Many incriminating factors of feed are destroyed due to
processing. Extrusion is effective in reducing microbial contamination in feedstuffs
and in Salmonella control.
• Pelleted feed: Pelleting provides scope for utilization of high fibre feed resources.
Use of steam- pelleted feed seems to be of value in maintaining gut health.Use of steam- pelleted feed seems to be of value in maintaining gut health.
• FEED ADDITIVES: Commercial poultry production during the last 50 years has
benefited from pharmaceutical and biological products that enabled flock size to
increase, genetic potential and improved nutritional formulations to be realized,
and overall production to increase. Food animal agriculture is providing
wholesome poultry meat protein for consumption in the human diet at
unprecedented levels. Some feed additives that promote the gut health either
directly or by preventing the enteric pathogens are discussed below
06/04/2013
ADITIVOS QUE PROMUEVEN SALUD DEL TGI
1. ANTICOCCIDIALS AND IONOPHORES; coccidiosis, a managemental disease, causes devastating losses to the
poultry industry. The disease is characterised by an invasion and damage of the intestinal wall by the
parasite resulting in severe haemorrhage and mortality. For this reason, it is essentially added in most
poultry rearing situations during the rearing period to prevent illness and control infections. When used in
a structured and monitored programme, anticoccidial agents are very effective and permit the optimum
performance of the animal without compromising health status. No new anticoccidial agent has come
onto the market since the 1980s, which is in part a reflection of the success that the ionophores have
brought to the control of the disease. (GRUPO DE EST. PRA EXPERIMENTO FMVZ- LAB. INTERNACIONAL)
2. PROBIOTICS (DIRECT-FED MICROBIALS); “A probiotic is defined as a live microbial feed supplement which2. PROBIOTICS (DIRECT-FED MICROBIALS); “A probiotic is defined as a live microbial feed supplement which
beneficially affects the host animal by improving its INTESTINAL MICROBIAL BALANCE.”
Gut flora may be disturbed under several circumstances including the use of antibiotics or other drugs,
excess stress, disease, exposure to toxic substances, which allows harmful competitors to thrive in the gut.
Probiotics prevent such harmful bacteria (enteric pathogens) from growing in the gut and thus minimize
the disturbances caused by them, and also maintain host favourable bacteria. Thus Probiotics balance gut
microflora.
Probiotics are also used as an alternative to antibiotics. However, probiotics are not a substitute for
antibiotics in birds with serious infections but are useful in restoring the normal bacterial population that
was otherwise altered due to administration of antibiotics. If the conditions that originally caused damage
to the natural gut flora persist, the benefits obtained from probiotic supplements will be short lived.
06/04/2013
3. PREBIOTICS; are non-digestible food ingredients (readily fermentable
sugars), that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the
growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the
colon, and thus improve host health. Most potential prebiotics are
carbohydrates (such as oligosaccharides). Prebiotic oligosaccharides may
be added to processed foods. Some prebiotics that are used in this
manner against pathogens are fructo-oligo-saccharides (FOS), xylo-oligo-
saccharides (XOS), mannan-oligo-saccharides (MOS) and galacto-oligo-
saccharides (GOS).
4. SYNBIOTICS; although use of probiotic formulations may well help in4. SYNBIOTICS; although use of probiotic formulations may well help in
achieving these benefits, it is also possible to increase and maintain a
healthy bacterial gut flora by increasing the amounts of prebiotics in the
diet such as inulin (naturally occurring oligosaccharides), raw oats, and
unrefined wheat. As probiotics are mainly active in the small intestine
and prebiotics are only effective in the large intestine, the combination
of the two gives a synergistic effect. Appropriate combinations of pre-
and probiotics are termed as synbiotics.
06/04/2013
5. ACIDIFIERS/ORGANIC ACIDS; include short chain fatty acids, volatile fatty acids and
weak carboxylic acids that are only partly disassociated. They may play a role in
maintaining gut integrity in the way that they reduce the colonization of pathogens
(like Salmonella and E.coli) in intestinal wall by lowering the intestinal pH below 6.0,
and promoting the normal microflora growth. This condition also increases the
efficiency of all digestive enzymes. Daily application of short chain fatty acids such as
Butyric acids increases epithelial cell proliferation, quick repairing of the intestine,
increased villous height and in turn increased absorptive capacity. Alone or in
combination, these are beneficial to the animal's health.
6. ENZYMES; extra enzymes can add to the animals' own digestive capacity. Feeding high
viscosity cereal grains to broilers result in larger microbial populations in the ileum.
Viscosity reduces the passage rate of the feed leading to overall reductions inViscosity reduces the passage rate of the feed leading to overall reductions in
consumption and decreased performance, sticky droppings and dirty eggs. A viscous
environment slows down digestion processes, and encapsulates nutrients, making
them inaccessible to digestive enzymes. Viscous gels are formed in the digesta by
the soluble NSP, which are not digested by the animal's own enzymes. Thickening of
unstirred water layer due to gel formation also inhibit absorption. Thus non-starch
polysaccharides form a major target substrate for feed enzymes. The addition of
enzymes to address NSP viscosity can improve gut health, feed efficiency, improve
manure quality and facilitate the use of lower cost feed ingredients.
06/04/2013
7. TOXIN BINDERS; are used through feed to bind or adsorb deleterious
substances such as mold and fungi-borne mycotoxins. These are the
invisible thieves or a hidden danger in animal feed, to animal health and
production. They may also accumulate in animal products and contaminate
the human food chain.
8. ANTIBIOTIC GROWTH PROMOTERS; With the intensification of livestock
farming the use of antibiotics for growth promotion has become popular.
Antibiotic growth promoters are feed additives that are administered at a
low, sub therapeutic dose to suppress sensitive populations of bacteria in
the gut and improve growth and performance of bird. The reason is that a
reduction in gastrointestinal infections would result in the subsequentreduction in gastrointestinal infections would result in the subsequent
increase in muscle weight. It has been estimated that as much as 6 per cent
of the net energy in the diet could be lost due to microbial fermentation in
the intestine (Jensen, 1998) and stimulation of energy-consuming immune
responses. If the microbial population could be better controlled, it is
possible that the lost energy could be diverted to growth. Whatever the
mechanism of action, the result of the use of growth promoters is an
improvement in daily growth rates between 1 and 10 per cent resulting in
meat of a better quality, with less fat and increased protein content
06/04/2013
Limitaciones del uso de los antibióticos:
• An overuse of any antibiotic over a period of time may lead to the local
bacterial populations becoming RESISTANT TO THE ANTIBIOTIC.
• ANTIBIOTIC RESIDUES in the products may affect humans.
• Essentially, there are two main ways in which we can reduce our
dependence on antibiotic use in animals:
1. An obvious choice is the development of ALTERNATIVES TO ANTIBIOTICS1. An obvious choice is the development of ALTERNATIVES TO ANTIBIOTICS
that work via similar mechanisms, promoting growth whilst enhancing the
efficiency of feed conversion.
2. A more difficult route would be to IMPROVE ANIMAL HEALTH.
