CB Partner Webinar #EVENTTITLE# Hill’s Pet Nutrition We hope the information was valuable in helping you optimize each patient’s individual microbiome. The microbiome impacts gut health and the health of the entire host. The intestinal microbiome predominantly refers to bacteria but also includes viral, fungal, and other microorganisms. Disruption of the intestinal bacterial ecosystem is likely both a cause and an effect of GI disease. The microbiome can be modulated by antibiotics, prebiotics, probiotics, or synbiotics (a combination of prebiotics and probiotics) or by fecal microbiome transplantation. Antibiotics and probiotics carry disadvantages that limit their use, and fecal transplantation is expensive and impractical. Prebiotics have several advantages over alternative ways to modulate the microbiome. They do not contribute to microbial resistance, will not alter the individual animal’s microbiome, and can be used in health and disease. Feeding foods with prebiotic properties is a practical, effective, and safe tool for treating many cases of canine and feline chronic and acute GI disease. ActivBiome+ technology uses a blend of fiber with prebiotic, bulking, and water-holding properties that also increase the amount of beneficial polyphenols in the intestines.
