The complexity of the microbial population of the animal
gastro-intestinal trac has been recognised long ago. However, thus
far, investigations have been limited to a few major groups,
considered to be dominating, and pathogens that are detrimental and
may case diseases and concomitant financial losses in the
production animal. Thanks to the latest developments, including
improved micriological detection and sampling techniques, and the
application of molecular tools to monitor the presence of specific
strains in the intestine, our knowlede has increased rapidly in
recent years. In addition, new approaches towards improving and/or
stabilising animal health, are addressed, with special emphasis on
probiotics, and also with regard to the use selected bacterial
strains as vehicles for delivery of pharmaceutically active
compounds to the muscosa. The book is unique in several respects,
not only by its coverage of an extremely wide area in animal gut
microbiology, but also by the fact that production animals such as
fish and reindeer are included. Scope and treatment of the subject
matter and the kind of information that can be found in the volume:
Colonisation and development (succession), and mucosal surface
composition of the normal microbial population flora in the healthy
animal are addressed, whilst estensive information is given on
diverse and dominating bacterial populations of different animal
types. Reference is also made to those microbial groups considered
to be of special benefit to the health and immune protection of the
(young) animal bacteria. The development and application of models
of the Gastro-Intestinal tract provides a solid basis for studying
gut microbial interactions, whilst molecular approaches and the us
of molecular tools to monitor the presence of specific strains in
the intestine is treated in a comprehensive manner. Wide coverage
of different animal types and their gut microbial ecology Extensive
and partly new information on the major microbial groups associated
with the animal gastro-intestinal tract The book is unique and
partly new information and up-to-date information proved in the
chapters as a whole
