Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is widely believed that, in animal nutrition, we are feeding the host and the microbiota with which it lives. Therefore, a complete understanding of the beneficial or detrimental effects of dietary intake requires an understanding of the impact of nutrients on fecal microbiota. This Special Issue seeks to capture the influence of dietary components on fecal microbiota and help to elucidate the influence of the relationship between nutrition and these microbes on the health and wellbeing of the host. Of special interest will be the effect of nutrients presented to the gut microbiota (e.g., carbohydrates, proteins and micronutrients) as well as botanicals and their subsequent post-biotics.
