Enteric health and nutrition are intimately related. Poor enteric health can adversely affect food digestion, gut motility,
and nutrient absorption by several means. Likewise, poor nutrition and feed quality can either increase a bird's
susceptibility to enteric disorders or directly cause them. Often it is difficult to discern the true cause of enteric
disorders in poultry, whether it is pathogenic or nutritional in origin. My objective is to present general information on
common nutritional factors that influence gut health.
