A feed composition for improving an intestinal environment comprising:
- (1) an enteric composition comprising 0.03 to 6 g/kg body weight of an amino acid or a salt thereof, and
- (2) an indigestible polysaccharide or a composition comprising 0.06 to 40 g/kg body weight of an indigestible polysaccharide,
- wherein the amino acid is selected from the group consisting of alanine, glutamine, glutamic acid, isoleucine, histidine, lysine, proline, valine, and combinations thereof;
- wherein the indigestible polysaccharide is selected from the group consisting of fructo-oligosaccharide, galacto-oligosaccharide, and combinations thereof;
