Growing concerns about antibiotic resistance in the livestock industry have prompted researchers to explore alternative solutions. This study investigated effects of Megathyrsus maximus as a phytobiotic supplement on production performance and health Sasso broilers raised tropical environments. 216 mixed-sex broiler chicks were randomly assigned six treatment groups (six replicates per treatment): Treatment 1 (T1) negative control (no antibiotics), 2 (T2) positive (100 mg/kg oxytetracycline), Treatments 3–6 received 1.25, 2.50, 3.75, 5.00 g/kg M. grass meal top basal diet, respectively, without antibiotics. At day 56, T6 had highest final body weight (1.87 kg) superior FCR 1.93. Nutrient digestibility was optimised at higher doses maximus, with CP (67.68%) EE (74.50%) group (p < 0.001). also improved intestinal morphology, VH:CD all segments. However, microbial counts carcase characteristics remained largely unaffected, though meat quality significantly terms reduced drip loss shear force supplementation levels g/kg. Blood biomarkers analysis decreased liver enzyme activity groups, particularly T6, suggests lowered inflammation enhanced function. concludes that supplementation, inclusion level (T6) shows potential an effective replacement poultry production.

Herein, Galla Chinensis tannin (GCT) was examined for its influence on preventing lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced liver damage in broiler chickens. Approximately 486 one-day-old healthy broilers were randomly allocated to 3 treatment groups (control, LPS, and LPS + GCT). The control fed a basal diet the LPS+GCT group supplemented with 300 mg/kg GCT. intraperitoneally injected (1 body weight BW) at 17, 19, 21 days of age. results manifested that dietary GCT addition attenuated LPS-induced deleterious effects serum parameters significantly increased immunoglobulin complement C3 concentrations relative groups. Dietary supplementation inhibited increase hepatic inflammatory cytokines, caspases activities, TLR4/NF-κB pathway-related gene mRNA expression. Therefore, improved immune function inhibit inflammation by blocking TLR4/NF- κ B pathway. Our findings provide support application poultry production.
