Modification of intestinal microbiota, Healthy Gut
An approach based on the use of natural compounds for the control of zoonotic or resistant bacteria.
Objectives:
- Study the intestinal microbiota present in food animals before and after the application of a polyphenols treatment.
- Nutrigenomics studies to identify changes in the expression of certain genes after treatment administration.
- Modify the intestinal microbiota, favoring the establishment and maintenance of a healthy and balanced intestinal bacterial population (lactic bacteria and bifidobacteria).after treatment administration.
- Control of enteric diseases and transmission of resistant bacteria in animal production (poultry, fish, ruminant and monogastric) after reduction of enterobacteria and resistant bacteria.
