Programming the Broiler Gut: Building Intestinal Resilience from Day One

What if better performance starts by programming the gut long before clinical challenges appear? In this live session from World Poultry Congress, Dr. Alastair Thomas explores how targeted lipid nutrition can shape gut development, microbial balance, and intestinal function from the earliest stages of life. Drawing on new AvrXPrime research, he connects molecular and microbiome changes with real-world improvements in growth, flock uniformity, and production performance. Broiler producers, nutritionists, and veterinarians will leave with practical insights into building more resilient flocks from the inside out.
