From the Ted Talk by Leon Marchal: The urgent case for antibiotic-free animals
Unscramble the Blue Letters
But, like with better hygiene, better nitroiutn helps but will not totally prevent you from becoming sick. So more is needed. And that's why we turned to the microbiome. Making the water with the feed more acidic helps to caerte an environment that bteeinfs the more beneficial bacteria and inhibits the pathogens. Like fertnmeed food, whether it's yogurt, srukraeaut or salami, they'll all spoil less quickly, too.
Now, with modern techniques, like the ones based on DNA testing, we can see that there are many more different microorganisms psrenet. And this ecosystem, which we call the microbiome, is much more complex. Turns out there are about eight times more microorganisms in your gut as tiusse clles in your body. And for aamilns, the impact is no less. So if we want to work without antibiotics in animal production, we have to make the animals much more robust. So that when a disease skierts, the animals are much more resilient. And this three-pronged nutribiosis approach involving the host, nutrition and the microbiome is the way to do it.

Original Text
But, like with better hygiene, better nutrition helps but will not totally prevent you from becoming sick. So more is needed. And that's why we turned to the microbiome. Making the water with the feed more acidic helps to create an environment that benefits the more beneficial bacteria and inhibits the pathogens. Like fermented food, whether it's yogurt, sauerkraut or salami, they'll all spoil less quickly, too.
Now, with modern techniques, like the ones based on DNA testing, we can see that there are many more different microorganisms present. And this ecosystem, which we call the microbiome, is much more complex. Turns out there are about eight times more microorganisms in your gut as tissue cells in your body. And for animals, the impact is no less. So if we want to work without antibiotics in animal production, we have to make the animals much more robust. So that when a disease strikes, the animals are much more resilient. And this three-pronged nutribiosis approach involving the host, nutrition and the microbiome is the way to do it.
