Animal intestinal health is a complex trait and is determined by the interplay of animal nutrition, microbiota and host genetics. Complex traits can be better understood by using a systems biology approach. The ultimate goal of such an approach is to generate a solid knowledge-base and predictive frameworks on the different functionalities of the gut along its various spatial, temporal and environmental dimensions. Systems based knowledge and in silico models of the intestinal tract will be pivotal to fully exploit the biological potential of host-feed-microbe interactions in the gastrointestinal tract of livestock species to improve health traits. This chapter provides a brief introduction in the upcoming area of intestinal systems biology.
