Impact of Chlorella sorokiniana feed additive on poultry growth health and oxidative stress in erythrocytes.

ABSTRACT: Microalgae, have emerged as a potentially promising feed additive option due to their beneficial nutritional profile rich in bioactive compounds. The present study examines the incorporation of Chlorella sorokiniana (at 0.1% and 1%) into chicken feed compared to control feed and its effect on growth and health parameters of poultry grown at pilot plant scale. Growth performance parameters (weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR), mortality, European Production Efficiency Index (EPEF)) and the immune system response are examined. In addition, it examines well-being gut health and nutrient absorption related variables via macroscopical and histological analysis. Finally, red blood cell (RBC) morphology and oxidative stress parameters (reactive oxygens species (ROS) and malondialdehyde level) in
