Aart Lammers

Aart Lammers is a Researcher in Adaptation Physiology at Wageningen University & Research. His work focuses on probiotics, postbiotics, and their effects on poultry health, immunity, and growth. He investigates microbiota interactions, immune system modulation, and environmental factors influencing animal resilience. Lammers collaborates on projects addressing feather pecking behavior, transgenerational immunity, and nutritional programming in broilers.

Research Interests:

• Probiotic/postbiotic efficacy in poultry
• Microbiota-gut-brain interactions
• Innate immunity and trained immunity mechanisms
• Early life nutrition and developmental programming
• Animal stress response and welfare

Recent Trends in Articles: Lammers' recent work emphasizes diet-probiotic interactions, metabolomic profiling of postbiotics, and transgenerational immune effects. His studies often link microbial interventions with physiological outcomes in poultry, highlighting practical applications in livestock management.

Advising & Grants: Co-supervised 6 PhD projects including probiotic efficacy (Jansseune), trained immunity (van Everdingen), and transgenerational immunity (Verwoolde). Collaborations involve multiple Wageningen research groups and external institutions.

Labs/Teams: Active in poultry physiology and microbiology research networks, contributing to datasets like the chicken tissue gene expression survey (GSE17108).
