This work was supported by Amyris Bio Products Portugal Unipessoal Lda and Escola Superior de Biotecnologia – Universidade Católica Portuguesa through Alchemy project- Capturing high value from industrial fermentation bio products (POCI-01−0247-FEDER-027578). We would also like to thank the scientific collaboration under the FCT project UID/Multi/50016/2019.
Funding Information:
In addition to Evonik, the six-year GOBI alliance, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, includes the German biotech enterprises Organobalance and Bionorica SE. The first is a biotechnology research and development company, founded in 2001 and acquired in 2016 by the Danish company Novozymes. Bionorica® SE, is one of the leading manufacturers of herbal medicines worldwide. Although, these companies focus the majority of their research and development studies towards human health and food applications, the partnership between different expertise enables to enhance the overall knowledge and expand the target applications, as did Evonik, when developed their chicken in vitro model based on ProDigest’s pre-existent human models, to respond to the poultry industry demand and feed supplementation research needs.

N2 - The animal's diet is a crucial factor, as poultry feed formulations influences greatly their development, well-being and final products quality, i.e., meat and eggs. Therefore, the search for feed additives that provide concomitantly better performances, low-cost usage, guarantying the animal well-being and products safety, became a priority to the poultry industry. Although in an early stage, research has been focused on developing the optimal cost-efficient feed formulations, taking into account the chicken's physiology and function of the gastrointestinal tract and intestinal microbiota. This review discusses a number of concepts and novel approaches towards the optimization of poultry's feed formulations, by critically encompassing the animal's growth and performance. Additionally, it highlights the in vitro gastrointestinal models capabilities as a potential solution to test highly nutritive, well-balanced and efficient feed formulations within a circular economy framework.
