Individual and combined effects of butyric acid glycerides and a multicomponent phytogenic supplement on growth performance, intestinal mucosal health, and immune response of broiler chickens under coccidiosis challenge.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the effects of butyric acid glycerides (BAG) and a multicomponent phytogenic product (MPH), both individually and in combination, on growth performance, carcass traits, hematological parameters, immune responses, gut morphology, and the expression of tight junction genes in broiler chickens challenged with coccidiosis. A total of 550 one-day-old male Ross 308 chicks were assigned to 5 treatment groups: negative control (NC; basal diet without challenge), positive control (PC; basal diet with coccidiosis challenge), PC supplemented with BAG (PC+BAG), PC supplemented with MPH (PC+MPH), and PC supplemented with both BAG and MPH (PC+BAG+MPH). The coccidial challenge, using a mixed Eimeria species inoculum, was administered on day 14. Results demonstrated that the combin
