Poultry Nutrition and Metabolism Solution

In comparison to other monogastric species, the digestive processes, nutrient absorption, and transport in the small intestine of poultry show significant similarities. However, there are evident anatomical differences in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) between poultry and other monogastrics. BioVenic recognizes these distinctions and offers a comprehensive solution for poultry nutrition and metabolism. Our solution integrates cutting-edge technologies such as poultry feed analysis, poultry metabolite analysis, omics studies, and assay development, which are dedicated to supporting poultry nutrition researchers in deepening their understanding of poultry nutrition and metabolic physiology. We aim to facilitate the development of poultry-specific feeds, improve overall poultry health, and enhance the sustainability of poultry farming.

Nutrigenomics Solution for Poultry Nutrition and Metabolism

Our nutrigenomics solution combines advanced techniques, including poultry genomics, nutrition-related protein transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and analysis of the poultry GI microbiome. By studying specific genes and their effects on poultry's nutritional metabolism, this solution provides a molecular perspective on nutrient effects. It also supports biomarker discovery, precision feeding, poultry product development, metabolic disorder research, welfare and stress response studies, gut health and microbiome analysis, toxicology, safety studies, and more.

Poultry Nutrition and Metabolism Mechanism Study Solution

Our solution for studying the mechanisms of poultry nutrition and metabolism focuses on two main areas: understanding nutrient digestion and absorption physiology and delving into nutrient metabolic mechanisms. This solution can be applied in the following ways:

• Research on Poultry Nutritional Digestion Mechanisms:

Through the creation of in vivo or in vitro poultry models in conjunction with advanced feed analysis techniques, we offer valuable digestibility data for poultry nutrition studies. Our services include digestive enzyme analysis and the detection of digestive hormones, which aid in exploring nutritional digestion mechanisms and the overall digestive physiology in poultry.

• Research on Poultry Intestinal Absorption Mechanisms:

We offer services for the detection and analysis of nutrient transport-related proteins within the small intestine. This includes studying how the small intestine absorbs essential nutrients such as starch, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. By analyzing indicators of gut health, we develop nutritional and management strategies to support optimal intestinal health in poultry.

• Research on Nutrient Metabolism Mechanisms in Poultry:

Utilizing a range of innovative techniques, we assist in investigating how poultry metabolizes ingested nutrients. Our approach explores how these metabolic processes are influenced by factors like feed composition, feeding practices, and genetic variables.

Poultry Nutritional and Metabolic Disorder Solution

Addressing nutritional and metabolic disorders is crucial in poultry farming. Our solution includes the development of poultry nutrition metabolism disorder models, metabolite analysis for detecting disorders, biomarker discovery, and the formulation of nutritional methods to prevent and treat such disorders. By exploring the mechanisms behind these disorders, we aim to reduce the associated losses like decreased growth performance, decreased product quality, and potential mortality.

Applications of Poultry Nutrition and Metabolism Solution

By employing our Poultry Nutrition and Metabolism Solution, researchers can explore various key topics in poultry nutrition, including:

• Poultry product development

Our solution aids in understanding nutrient absorption and metabolism, facilitating the development of functional poultry meat and egg products such as selenium-enriched eggs.

• Improving poultry intestinal health

Intestinal health plays a crucial role in digestion, absorption of nutrients, and poultry immunity. We offer testing services to assess digestive and absorption functions, immune performance, intestinal permeability, among other aspects, thereby helping develop feeds and additives that promote poultry intestinal health.

• Sustainable poultry farming

Our solutions contribute to improving feed efficiency, reducing waste generation during poultry farming, and achieving precision farming goals. This leads to controlled farming costs and facilitates sustainable poultry farming practices.
