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

mycolabadmin

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.

Influence of Pleurotus sapidus fruiting bodies on the performance, cecal microbiome, and gene expression in the liver and breast muscle of broilers

Researchers tested whether edible mushroom fruiting bodies could be used as animal feed for chickens. They found that chickens fed diets containing oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sapidus) had reduced growth and lower nutrient absorption compared to control chickens. While mushroom-based feed appeared to increase beneficial gut bacteria diversity, it ultimately impaired overall chicken performance, suggesting mushroom fruiting bodies are not suitable as a primary feed component for commercial poultry production.

Effects of fermented rice husk powder on growth performance, rumen fermentation, and rumen microbial communities in fattening Hu sheep

Researchers tested whether fermented rice husk powder could improve the health and growth of sheep when used as feed. They found that sheep fed fermented rice husk grew faster and gained more weight than sheep fed unfermented rice husk. The fermented version also improved digestion and changed the beneficial bacteria in the sheep’s stomach in positive ways. This discovery could help farmers use agricultural waste more effectively as animal feed.
