Effects of dietary Fibrafid as phytogenic supplementation in standard and nutrient-reduced diets on breast meat quality, carcass traits, histopathology, and feed efficiency in heat-stressed broilers

This research tested a plant-based feed additive called Fibrafid in broiler chickens raised in hot conditions. When included at 0.25% in their diet, Fibrafid improved meat quality by increasing its ability to retain moisture and enhancing tenderness, while also supporting growth even when using lower-nutrition diets. The additive maintained healthy intestines and improved feed efficiency, offering a practical and sustainable solution for poultry farmers in hot climates.

The phenomenon of strain degeneration in biotechnologically relevant fungi

Fungi used in industries to produce antibiotics, enzymes, and other useful products sometimes mysteriously lose their ability to produce these substances effectively. This review explains why this happens through various mechanisms including genetic changes, chemical modifications of genes, and stress responses. The authors provide practical strategies to prevent this loss of productivity, such as careful strain selection, proper storage methods, and tailored bioprocess design to maintain stable production.
