In large-scale poultry farming, broilers of the same breed share a common genetic background and identical management conditions, yet substantial individual variation in body weight persists. In this study, we identified distinct plasma proteomic profiles between high and low weight broilers, wit...

Immune stress in broilers can cause severe economic losses, chlorogenic acid is an effective plant extract for alleviating immune stress. This study investigates the effect of chlorogenic acid on the intestinal microbiota and metabolites of broilers under immune stress. 312 broilers were randomly...

The gut microbiota is being increasingly recognized as a pivotal regulator of thermal adaptation in homeothermic rodents. However, it remains unclear whether similar mechanisms operate in other homeothermic species, such as birds, which exhibit higher basal body temperature and limited heat toler...

The steady state of gut microbiota is a key factor in regulating the growth of broilers. The regulatory role of wet-fermented brewer's grains (WFBG) in broiler gut development and microbiota is still elusive. In this study, non-targeted metabolomics and 16S rRNA sequencing analysis were used to i...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of wet-fermented brewer's grains (WFBG) on gut development and serum metabolism in white-feathered broilers. A total of 192 one-day-old male broilers (initial body weight: 36.46 ± 0.93 g) were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: the control group...

The overuse of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry farming has raised global concerns about antimicrobial resistance and food safety, prompting the search for effective natural alternatives. Moringa is rich in bioactive compounds with antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties; ho...
