Laetiporus sulphureus-fermented wheat bran enhanced broiler growth performance by improving intestinal microflora and inflammation status

This research explored how fermenting wheat bran with a medicinal fungus could create a beneficial feed supplement for chickens. The fermented product improved chicken growth and health by enhancing gut bacteria balance and reducing inflammation. Impact on everyday life: – Provides a sustainable way to convert agricultural waste into valuable animal feed – Could help reduce the need for antibiotics in poultry farming – Demonstrates potential for natural feed supplements to improve food animal health – May lead to more sustainable and cost-effective poultry production – Could contribute to safer chicken meat production with fewer additives
