therapeutic action: increased nutrient absorption

In-ovo injection of Bacillus subtilis, raffinose, and their combinations enhances hatchability, gut health, nutrient transport- and intestinal function-related genes, and early development of broiler chicks

Researchers injected newly developing chicken eggs with beneficial bacteria (Bacillus subtilis) and a prebiotic substance (raffinose) to improve chick health. The treatment enhanced egg hatchability, improved chick weight, reduced harmful bacteria in the gut, and strengthened intestinal function. This approach shows promise as a natural alternative to antibiotics in poultry farming.

Paraboremia selaginellae enhances Salvia miltiorrhiza growth and cadmium tolerance via modulating root architecture and cadmium speciation in contaminated environments

A beneficial fungus called Paraboremia selaginellae was found to help medicinal plants grow better in soil contaminated with cadmium, a toxic heavy metal. When this fungus colonizes plant roots, it reduces how much cadmium the plant absorbs and improves the soil’s nutrient content. This natural approach offers a promising solution for growing medicinal plants safely in polluted soils without expensive chemical treatments.

Enhancing Nutritional Quality and Functionality of Legumes: Application of Solid-State Fermentation With Pleurotus ostreatus

Researchers used a mushroom fungus (Pleurotus ostreatus) to ferment lentils, chickpeas, and soybeans, making them more nutritious and easier for the body to digest. The fermentation process reduced harmful compounds called antinutrients while boosting protein content and antioxidant power. This simple bioprocessing method could help create healthier plant-based foods that rival animal protein sources in nutritional quality.
