Gut simulation model: Exploring poultry bacteria

In order to understand how probiotics and other natural food additives impact intestinal bacteria and thus an animal’s overall health, scientists from Evonik are working on a novel gut simulation model. The model is designed to biochemically mimic the digestion of chickens throughout the gastrointestinal tract and simulate the effect of feed additives. The project is part of the innovation alliance “Good Bacteria and Bioactives in Industry” (GOBI), which is funded by the German Federal
