functional ingredients of animal feed. They are non-digestible in
nature and their primary function is to enhance the growth of
favorable bacteria in the gut. Prebiotics can perform this function
in a selective manner as well, targeting only a few types of
bacteria, thereby allowing the growth of only those that have a
positive effect on the host.
