Effect of dietary modulation of intestinal microbiota on reproduction and early growth
Theriogenology.

Abstract
An optimal balance of intestinal microbiota is necessary for digestive and immune health. Poor performance, susceptibility to infections, and decreased growth rate can be signs of an imbalanced microbiome. Dietary strategies to establish and maintain an optimal balance of microbiota include prebiotics (food for indigenous microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract) and probiotics (beneficial microbiota consumed by the animal). Recent research regarding use of probiotics and prebiotics in reproducing and growing livestock and companion animals is summarized. Documented benefits include prevention of diarrhea, decreased mortality, establishment of a healthy microbiota balance, and improved immune function.
