Nowadays, there is increased interest on the consummation of poultry meat. It is known that modulation of intestinal microflora with effective probiotic bacteria can play important role at the reduction of intestinal enteropathogens. We suggest that suitable bacterial culture can increase capillaries density in the muscle and to influence the proliferation and maturation of myogenic stem cells. Preliminary results obtained with partner from Germany in the study in broilers lean to towards this hypothesis. Recent finding demonstrate that microvascular cells play important role at the control of muscle myogenic stem cells. The obtained information about immune mechanisms on molecular and cell levels will lead to development a new approach strategy to interaction intestinal microbiota and growing of muscle mass in broilers.
