The aim of this review was discuss potential effects various HFAs improving performance, enhancing antioxidant defenses, modifying intestinal microflora morphology, modulating immune responses, regulating genetic hormonal functions poultry. notable immunomodulatory properties that help reduce oxidative stress boost thereby overall health productivity. Furthermore, provide antimicrobial benefits by promoting gut eubiosis, fostering beneficial microbiota, offering protection against pathogens. Additionally, certain can affect regulation, which play a vital role function both reproductive performance. These are valuable for sustainable production reducing reliance AGPs is becoming increasingly important.
