CALIMERO: An in vitro chicken alimentary tract model
CALIMERO, an in vitro Chicken alimentary tract model, was created to model the gastrointestinal tract of chickens. Based on literature data with respect to transit time, enzyme concentrations, bile and pH throughout the gastrointestinal tract, the model was developed and tested with respect to carbohydrate, protein and fat (with/without emulsifiers) digestion. Learn more about this model, where every fraction can be sampled and a mass-balance can be made, allowing mechanistic studies.
