This study evaluated the effect of a yeast β-glucan on performance, gut health, liver function, and bacterial translocation broiler chickens fed diet contaminated with Fusarium mycotoxins. One-day-old male Ross broilers (n = 234) were divided into three treatments six replicates each, cage containing 13 birds was experimental unit. The animals maize–soybean-based control or maize–soybean diets naturally mycotoxins, where deoxynivalenol (DON) major mycotoxin (~3 mg/kg), followed by zearalenone (ZEN) (~0.5 mg/kg). Fusarium-contaminated either supplemented not over 28 days. Dietary exposure to mycotoxins did affect production performance. On other hand, significantly decreased jejunum villus height (VH) crypt depth (CD) d13, this counteracted β-glucan. d28, VH:CD ratio higher in that (125 mg/kg diet) added it. ileal area diet, regardless supplementation contamination caused intestinal oxidative stress inflammation, probably affecting nutrient absorption resulted significant increase Escherichia coli liver. minimized these negative effects.
