Prebiotics in animal nutrition: Harnessing agro-industrial waste for improved gut health and performance.
Review in Animal nutrition (Zhongguo xu mu shou yi xue hui), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This review provides an overview of the current research on prebiotics and their applications in animal nutrition and health. Various types of prebiotics are introduced and classified, with an analysis of agro-industrial residues as sources. The potential of prebiotics as substrates for the growth and/or activity of probiotic microorganisms, as well as their applications in animal feeds, were examined. This analysis also considered the health-promoting advantages linked to different production techniques and bioactive compounds. The mechanisms by which prebiotics alter gastrointestinal tract microbiota are discussed, specifically in terms of combating pathogenic bacteria and modulating immune cells in the gut. Investigations of the impact of prebiotics in both polygastric and monogastric animals are reported, highlighting their effects on the gut ecosystem and animal performance. This review concludes that agro-industrial residues are valuable sources of prebiotics that possess numerous beneficial health-promoting properties suitable for animal nutrition. These prebiotics can serve as a relevant substitute in the ongoing search for alternative strategies to prevent and control the presence of pathogenic bacteria in animals, particularly considering the restriction on antimicrobial growth promoters. However, further research is necessary to explore the interaction between prebiotics and probiotics in animal care and well-being, to establish systematic management of production and practical applications of these functional feed additives.
