Abstract

A vast diversity of microbes colonizes in the poultry gastrointestinal tract, referred to intestinal microbiota. Microbiota and products thereof are indispensable for shaping the functions of poultry digestive and immune system, thereby exerting multifaceted impacts in gut health. As antibiotics are restricted or disabled worldwide, the issue of the intestinal problems of poultry is becoming more and more serious, causing huge economic losses for the farmers. However, the researches on the intestinal microbial flora of poultry are still at a relatively early stage. This paper reviewed the composition of poultry gut microbiota and current nutrition studies on poultry gut health control. Then, we discussed the effects on immunity of gut microbe-derived nucleic acids and gut microbial metabolites, as well as the involvement of commensals in the gut homeostasis. In addition, we further focused on the recent findings with an intention to illuminate the mechanisms about how the gastrointestinal mucosa immunity system regulating gut microbiota, hoping to provide some evidences for further poultry gut health protection.
