Researchers tested different beneficial bacteria (Bacillus strains) and food additives (prebiotics) to create improved formulations for chicken embryos. They found that certain plant-based additives, especially protein hydrolysate, worked particularly well with specific bacterial strains. When they tested the best combination in developing chicken eggs, it was completely safe and didn’t affect hatching rates, suggesting this approach could be used to give chicks a healthier start in life.

Assessment of the Impact of Metals in Wild Edible Mushrooms from Dambovita County, Romania, on Human Health

mycolabadmin

This study examined 18 types of wild mushrooms commonly eaten in Romania to measure their metal content. Researchers found that while mushrooms provide important minerals like iron and zinc, some species accumulate harmful metals like cadmium and chromium. Children are at greater risk from eating these mushrooms than adults because their smaller bodies absorb proportionally more of the contaminants. Some mushroom species pose significant cancer risks from metal exposure.
