Breu explicació del projecte / Brief explanation of your project
The main objective of this project is to induce a robust homeostatic status in the chicken GIT promoting the tolerance (preventing inflammation) and to increase the luminal defense capacity against pathogens through the administration of probiotic strains, specifically selected for their immunomodulatory and antimicrobial capacity, to investigate if similar modes of action as AGPs are possible.
The current project will help to elucidate the possible role of TLR21 in the process of tolerance in the intestine. This is a physiological function of the immune system which is not known in chickens, and which could play an important role in the development of new products as alternative to antibiotics.
