Introduction
• Feed additives are used to supplement essential components in the diet of farm animals (essential aminoacids, vitamins).
• Another important role of feed additives is to increase the digestibility of raw materials (enzymes).
• After the ban of antimicrobials growth promoters, the interest for feed additives with antimicrobial activity has been increased (plant extracts, organic acids...)
• To reduce pathogenic and to increase saprophytic microorganisms are fundamental aims for feed additives (probiotics, prebiotics).
• To stimulate the immunologic system is another point of interest for feed additives.
• To improve the knowledge of intestinal physiology, and specially changes in the intestinal microbiota (components and metabolism), is essential for the development of new feed additives.

The intestinal microbiota of productive animals is composed by:
16-23% cultured bacteria.
77-84% uncultured bacteria.
To analyse the cultured and the uncultured intestinal bacteria we initially used the Restriction Fragment
Length Polymorphism (RFLP) method

Importance of variance homogeneity as productive parameter
This batch will be punished if all animals are sent
together to slaughterhouse

Troubles for the correct cleaning and disinfection of farm facilities. Increasing the risk of maintenance of infectious agents.
Higher prevalence of respiratory and digestive disorders in the next batch.
Conclusions
• It is important to normalise experimental infection models.• The intestinal microbiota is essential for animal health
and welfare.• The gut microbiota plays an essential role on digestive
physiology.• Some microbial components have direct effect on
intestinal mucosa (barrier effect and gut associated lymphoid tissue).• The intestinal microbiome can be modified by feed
composition (raw materials and feed additives).• Feed additives can reduce the variance of productive
parameters, representing a significant improvement on the economical balance of farm.
