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.

Lysozyme is often used as a feed additive to act an antibacterial protein that boosts the immune system of livestock and poultry while protecting against pathogens. To investigate effects recombinant human lysozyme (rhLYZ) from Pichia pastoris chlortetracycline on broiler chicken's production performance, antioxidant characteristics, intestinal microbiota, total 200, 1-d-old male Arbor Acres chickens (46.53 ± 0.42 g) were selected for 42-d experiment. Dietary treatments included basal diet corn-soybean meal supplemented with either 0 mg/kg (CON), 50 aureomycin (ANT), 20 rhLYZ (LOW), 60 (MEDIUM), or 180 (HIGH).

Liposomal encapsulated phytogenics, such as liposomal hesperetin, are considered novel substitutes for antibiotics in the broilers industry owing to their improved nutritional and therapeutic properties. Therefore, our key goal was investigate hesperetin impact on broilers' growth performance, health, antioxidant status, tight junction proteins (TJP), resistance against Listeria monocytogenes. Four groups were fed 0, 150, 250, 400 mg/kg of hesperetin-supplemented diets experimentally infected with L. monocytogenes strain. Herein, especially at higher concentrations, augmented FCR upregulation genes encoding TJP (occludin, JAM-2, MUC-2), attributes (GPX-1, SOD-1, CAT, HO-1, NQO1, COX2), which reflect enhancing health welfare broilers. Muscle biomarkers enhanced; meanwhile, muscle MDA, ROS, H2O2 levels reduced response hesperetin. fortification loads its virulence-related expression (flaA, hlyA, ami). Remarkably, histopathological alterations intestinal brain tissues restored post-inclusion reflects increasing bird's infection. Transcription cytokines/chemokines (MyD88, AVBD6, CCL20, IL-1β, IL-18), autophagy (Bcl-2, LC3, AMPK, AKT, CHOP, Bip, p62, XBP1) ameliorated following dietary fortification, suggests birds' immunity health.
