In this episode of The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, we revisit a conversation with Dr. Natalie Morgan, an Associate Professor at Curtin University, who explains the role of fiber in poultry diets. She discusses soluble and insoluble fiber, effects on gut health, microbiota, and nutrient utilization, and challenges in fiber measurement. The conversation highlights opportunities to use fiber strategically in feed formulation. Listen now on all major platforms!

"Soluble fiber ferments and fuels beneficial bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids that support gut health and reduce pathogen colonization."

Meet the guest: Dr. Natalie Morgan received her B.Sc. in Animal Biology and Ph.D. in Poultry Nutrition from Nottingham Trent University. Now an Associate Professor at Curtin University in Australia, she specializes in dietary fiber and prebiotics in poultry diets, with extensive experience in enzyme application and microbiota studies. Her research aims to optimize nutrient absorption and gut health in poultry.
