Issued without a dust jacket. -- The knowledge of the gastro-intestinal microflora has substantially improved since 1994 and new methods for studying the microflora have been developed. There is now considerable emphasis on the use of alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in animal production. This includes discussions of enzymes, oligosaccharides, probiotics and organic acids. This revised volume gives a modern understanding of the microflora in the gastro-intestinal tract and indicates how this can be managed in modern animal production without the reliance upon antibiotic growth promoters. Chapters: Introduction; The gastro-intestinal tract; Gut bacteria and immunity; Infections of the digestive tract; Analysing gut microbial populations; Bio-active feed ingredients; Live yeast; Enzymes; Probiotics / live bacterial supplementation; Prebiotics / gut active carbohydrates; Acids; Botanicals / phytogenics; Index.
