Prebiotic

The extent of concerns of the international community about antibiotic residues in livestock and poultry production has shown the need for suitable alternatives that can support domestic animals in stressful farm conditions against the invasion of undesirable and pathogenic bacteria. One of the effective ways to create resistance to undesirable and pathogenic bacteria is to adjust the microbial flora and support the favorable intestinal flora. Prebiotics are carbohydrates that cannot be digested by digestive enzymes and cannot be used by bad bacteria. But the favorable bacteria of the intestine use them as a substrate and therefore the population of favorable bacteria increases and as a result the population of unfavorable bacteria decreases. Mannan oligosaccharide can act similar to intestinal free mannose, which is the binding site of type 1 bacteria, and pathogens that do not have the ability to distinguish between intestinal free mannose and mannan oligosaccharide are attached to them without being able to connect to the intestine through the lumen. They are removed from the digestive tract. Due to its antigenic property, beta-glucan enters the internal environment of the body and stimulates macrophages.
