Recently, the monogastric animal feed innovation team of the Feed Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has made important progress in feeding L-arginine during the embryonic period to promote the intestinal development of chicken embryos, providing new ideas and science for the ultra-early nutritional regulation of poultry intestinal development Basis

According to the team's chief researcher Wu Shugeng, the rapid colonization of microorganisms is an important driving factor for the intestinal immune programming and the maturity of the immune system
.

In fact, during the embryonic development period of poultry, microbial colonization already exists in the intestine .

Colonize

The study used embryonic feeding technology to advance the nutritional intervention time point to the embryonic development period.

This study clarified the interaction mechanism between embryonic microbial colonization and embryonic intestinal development, which is of great significance to the understanding of intestinal dysplasia in chicks after they emerge
