Body weight, feed conversion ratio, mortality and egg production tell poultry producers a lot about flock performance. But they don\u2019t always tell us why<\/strong> we\u2019re seeing those results.<\/p>

That\u2019s where microbiome science can add another layer of understanding, and where the Galleon\u2122 platform can help make that understanding practical.<\/p>

Galleon\u2122 turns the complex, constantly changing world of the gut microbiome into actionable intelligence. Powered by advanced microbiome analysis, artificial intelligence (AI) and the world\u2019s largest microbiome database, it helps uncover the insights that matter most, giving nutritionists and producers a deeper way to investigate results and make more informed nutrition and farm management decisions.<\/p>

We spoke with Yann Fournis and Luisa Gen\u00e9 about what they\u2019re learning from the poultry microbiome, how Galleon\u2122 helps integrate those insights into practical decisions that can support future success in the flock, and why some familiar ideas about gut health might be worth another look.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Luisa:<\/strong> In poultry production, we\u2019re very focused on key performance indicators (KPIs) like body weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR), mortality, and egg production. But these KPIs tell us what has already happened.<\/p>

The microbiome can help us understand why it happened. Why did FCR change? Why are we seeing a change in mortality or production?<\/p>

You can have the same feed, housing type and management practices in two flocks, and they can still perform differently. Looking at the microbiome gives us another way to understand why, and even more importantly, to identify risks and opportunities earlier.<\/p>

Yann<\/b>: I completely agree. For years, body weight and FCR were the two main KPIs we followed, along with laying rate in layers.<\/p>

Those measures are still key. But microbiome science brings new parameters into the discussion. We can look beyond the final performance number and understand more about the biology behind it.<\/p>

That\u2019s what\u2019s exciting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Q : What surprises people when they start looking at the microbiome? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yann:<\/strong> People are often surprised that, although the gut microbiota is a complex environment, we can influence it.<\/p>

Different interventions can also have different effects. For example, in our work with the Biostrong\u2122 portfolio<\/a>, we\u2019ve seen that postbiotics can promote beneficial bacteria and accelerate gut microbiota maturation, while phytogenics may have more impact on controlling undesirable bacteria.<\/p>

So it\u2019s not simply about changing the microbiota. It\u2019s also about understanding the type of change we\u2019re trying to achieve.<\/p>

Luisa:<\/strong> And that\u2019s where measurement becomes important. If we can see what\u2019s happening in the microbiome we can identify where there may be a gap or an opportunity to improve. This is something we couldn\u2019t really see before.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Q : Microbiome data can be incredibly complex. how does Galleon\u2122 make it useful? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Luisa:<\/strong> Traditionally, microbiome methodologies have been complex to understand. With Galleon\u2122, we use AI and a large database to help focus on the information that matters.<\/p>

That means we can simplify the results for customers and provide actionable insights. We\u2019ve taken something that was previously much more focused on research and brought it into practical application in the field.<\/p>

Yann:<\/strong> And that\u2019s an important change. In the past, microbiota science was extremely descriptive. Now we can connect what we\u2019re seeing in the microbiota with final performance and use that understanding when thinking about nutritional interventions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t
Q : How can we connect that microbiome insight with the right nutrition solution? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yann:<\/strong> We can first create a profile of the gut microbiota to understand its current status. Then we design an intervention\u2014for example, applying a Biostrong\u2122 nutrition solution<\/a>\u2014and measure again to understand the shift in the microbiota.<\/p>

One example comes from one of our recent projects we are developing. We found that lower body weight or higher feed conversion ratio can be linked with delayed maturation of the gut microbiota. We also found that Biostrong\u2122 Dual<\/a> can support healthy microbiome maturation.<\/p>

So we\u2019re not only looking at whether performance changed. Galleon\u2122 gives us another way to investigate why we\u2019re seeing that response and better understand the mode of action of the solution.<\/p>

Luisa:<\/strong> And that helps us become more precise in our recommendations. Our solutions can be very good, but that doesn\u2019t mean every solution is right for every situation.<\/p>

If we can measure and understand what\u2019s happening, we can be more precise about the intervention we recommend.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Q : What\u2019s one thing you wish more poultry nutritionists understood about the microbiome? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yann:<\/strong> That there aren\u2019t really \u201cgood bugs\u201d and \u201cbad bugs.\u201d There\u2019s a good microbiota at a certain age.<\/p>

Take Lactobacillus. We often call it a good bacterium. But Lactobacillus can be appropriate for a young animal. An older animal with a digestive tract dominated by Lactobacillus is a different situation.<\/p>

The gut microbiota is extremely dynamic throughout the animal\u2019s life cycle. The idea of \u201cgood bugs\u201d and \u201cbad bugs\u201d is still stuck in the industry, while this notion of microbiota evolution and maturation isn\u2019t yet fully understood.<\/p>

Luisa:<\/strong> I would add something to that: nutritionists aren\u2019t only formulating for the bird. They\u2019re also formulating for the microbiome.<\/p>

In very simple words, we\u2019re feeding the bugs inside the bird<\/strong>.<\/p>

The more we understand about what\u2019s happening in the microbiome, the more precisely we can think about nutritional interventions.<\/p>

YANN:<\/strong> I really like Luisa\u2019s phrase, \u201cwe feed the bugs,\u201d because we really do.<\/p>

Nutritionists are already familiar with the idea that feed is utilized by microbes in ruminants. Thinking about it this way is relatively new in poultry, but we\u2019re also feeding the bugs in poultry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

For Yann and Luisa, microbiome science brings the next level of understanding to traditional poultry KPIs.<\/p>

Where performance measures tell us what happened. The microbiome can help us investigate why, and reveal patterns or opportunities that might otherwise remain hidden.<\/strong><\/p>

And perhaps that\u2019s the real shift from gut feelings to gut science: making the poultry microbiome more measurable, understandable and, ultimately, useful.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
