In recent years, the livestock industry has shown increasing concern regarding need to find effective alternatives antibiotic products while also striving produce high-quality and poultry products. Woody feed sources exhibit wide distribution variety, containing a variety of bioactive substances such as flavonoids alkaloids. Among these woody plants, Neolamarckia cadamba (Nc) characteristics high leaf yield, fast growth rate, rich nutritional value, which great development potential. However, whether Nc supplementation can improve performance, immunity, gut health yellow-feathered broilers remains be explored. present study, we aimed investigate effects diet supplemented with dry powder or water extract on intestinal broilers. The results showed that, (1) There was no significant difference in Body weight (BW), Average daily gain (ADG), intake (ADFI), Feed conversion ratio (FCR) between experimental groups control group (P > 0.05); (2) Compared group, thymus index at 63 days significantly increased 1% < 0.05).
