The mechanism of tea tree oil regulating the damage of hydrogen sulfide to spleen and intestine of chicken.

ABSTRACT: Intensification of poultry industry has led to a surge in animal product output, but this has also revealed issues with environmental management in poultry houses, particularly the harmful effects of high hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) levels on poultry health. The study aimed to assess the therapeutic impact of tea tree oil (TTO) on H₂S-induced spleen and intestinal injuries in chickens. A total of 240 one-day-old Lohmann Brown chicks were randomly divided into three groups: the control group (CON), the H₂S exposure group (AVG), and the TTO treatment group (TTG), with four replicates, each consisting of 20 chicks.
