Dietary addition of compound organic acids improves the growth performance, carcass trait, and body health of broilers

Frontiers in Nutrition, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Jan. 28, 2025

Introduction The poultry industry constantly seeks strategies to enhance broiler growth performance and overall health. Organic acidifiers, including L-lactic acid, L-malic acetic have gained attention as potential feed additives improve animal production by modulating gut health, enhancing nutrient absorption, supporting immune function. Despite their promising effects in other species, the impact of this novel compound organic acidifier on performance, metabolism, response has not been fully elucidated. This study aims evaluate serum lipid profile, antioxidant status, parameters broilers, providing insights into its benefits a dietary supplement for health productivity. Methods A total 240 broilers were randomly divided four groups: control group three treatment groups receiving 0.25%, 0.5%, or 1.0% acidifier, with six replicates ten birds each. Over 6-week period, various measured, triglycerides, high-density lipoproteins, lysozyme, immunoglobulins (IgA, IgM), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, IL-2, TNF- α , gene expressions related metabolism. Results decreased triglycerides lipoproteins while also performance. Additionally, it raised levels IgA, IgM, SOD. IL-2 concentrations jejunum mucosa decreased. upregulated PPARα AMPK FABP1 MTTP expressions, downregulated APOB100 . Overall, effectively improved during early development phase primarily hepatic capacity, Conclusion These results suggest that may accelerate liver metabolism expression profiles involved

This study aimed to assess the combined effects of Cyanus depressus and Schizochytrium sp. extracts on growth indices expression genes linked antioxidant activity immunity in carp (Cyprinus carpio). Fish, averaging 3.71 ± 0.16 g weight, were assigned three dietary groups over a 60-day period: control group (0 g/kg extract) two test receiving extract mixtures at 0.5 (CS05) 1 (CS1). The supplemented groups, particularly those g/kg, showed significant increases final body weight gain, specific rate. highest superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase (CAT) gene levels seen fish CS-supplemented diet, CS-fed displayed greatest immune-related interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) relative control. Collectively, these findings indicate that extracts, especially dosage have promising potential as supplements for enhancing physiological health carp.
