Abstract
The gut mucosal immunity system, one of the most important immune tissues, has much relatlonship with intestinal bacteria. Probiotics are used as the new animal feed additives containing living beneficial bacteria. They can adhere to the intestinal epithelial cells, stimulate gut mucosal immune tissue and induce cellular or humoral immune response. This article discusses the mechanism of probiotics on modulating the mucosal immunity of the animal gastrointestinal tract.
