Abstract

Prebiotics are a possible alternative to antibiotics in organic food animal production, primarily with nonruminants. The effects of several prebiotics on the composition of the gut microflora, gut morphology, nutrient availability, and animal performance are discussed. The prebiotics addressed include fructo-oligosaccharides, mannanoligosaccharides, and other oligosaccharides; and inulin, a naturally occurring polysaccharide.
