Extract

The gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) microflora is thought to remain essentially stable in terms of the range of species present, but it is hypothesized that its activity can be influenced by the diet of the host. The addition of fermentable carbohydrates to an animal diet, may therefore affect the activity of the GIT microflora.
