A fatty acid formed by intestinal bacteria can apparently increase the innate immune defence of chickens in a targeted way. In cell experiments, macrophages with sodium butyrate killed several bacterial pathogens better and used oxygen radicals and autophagy. The development date of the immune cells is decisive. Already mature macrophages could not be reprogrammed in the same way. Bristol (England). Bacterial infections caused by salmonella or d…
