Introduction The gastrointestinal tracts of different birds host a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and eukaryotic. Scientists and researchers refer to these species as microbiota. Such microorganisms are essential since they impact the physiology, immunity, development, reproductive abilities, and behavior of these vertebrates and their evolutionary processes. The paper below presents my personal views of host-microbial interactions in the gut of Canadian geese and the issues associated with such processes. Personal Views The studied class materials have identified gut microbiota as essential since it plays a crucial role in the health and development of birds, including Canadian geese. The nature of microbiota tends to affect the fitness and survival of the host in a number of ways. These microorganisms co-evolve with the birds, thereby increasing or weakening the fitness of the host. These developments might have significant implications on the birds’ growth rates, chances of survival, and reproductive abilities. The environment is also a key determinant of this symbiotic relationship since it dictates the optimum functions of the microbes, thereby determining the success rate of a goose (Grond et al. 4). Breeders and farmers can consider this information to manage the microbiota balance and eventually maximize the performance of such birds. Application for Bio-conservation and Agricultural Implications The knowledge of host-microbial interactions in the gut of Canadian geese becomes an opportunity to take the idea of bio conservation to the next level. Risely et al. observed that the natural environment dictated the survival and success of various microbial organisms in the gut of birds and other vertebrates (433). Any variation or destruction of the natural environment stressed the coexistence index, thereby affecting the performance of the host and the microorganisms. Scientists can utilize this information to conserve the environment depending on the needs of different species (Javůrková et al. 2371). They may go further to minimize the use of chemicals that might pollute the natural environment. Human beings can also reconsider the issue of deforestation by monitoring these microbial interactions. Similarly, farmers can use this information to achieve better yields or production by maintaining microbial interactions in the gut at optimum levels. For instance, the recorded differences in the gut microbiota of domesticated birds during early development determined their health outcomes. Breeders can use galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) since they trigger beneficial autochthonous bacteria in the gut (Wu et al. 122214). This achievement eventually improves the overall performance of the birds, thereby maximizing productivity. Additionally, new chicks are usually at risk of developing gut infections due to poor or weak immunity (Braga et al. 89). This knowledge can encourage agriculturalists to consider new ways of boosting immunity and improving gut microbiota. Biologists can use probiotics in birds to improve production and optimize gut microbiota. The use of non-pellet feeding is an evidence-based process for lowering gut acidity. This practice can also result in the death of microbes that might be dangerous to the bird. Scientists in this field can al
