Immunomodulatory effects of chicken soups prepared with the native cage-free chickens and the commercial caged broilers.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to compare the immunomodulatory effects of the chicken soups prepared with the native free-range chickens and the commercial caged broilers in the immunosuppressive mice. The immunosuppressive mice model was established by the intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg of cyclophosphamide (CTX) per kg body weight. The powders of Gushi Chicken Soup (GCS), Honglashan Chicken Soup (HCS), and Cobb Broiler Soup (CBS) were prepared by high-pressure stewing followed by spray drying.

The three chicken soups promoted the recovery of immunosuppressive mice, but th
