Effects of fermented ramie feed on the growth performance, serum biochemistry, metabolic capacity, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal health of ducks.

This study investigated the effects of fermented ramie feed (FRF) on the growth performance, serum biochemistry, metabolic capacity, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal health of ducks. A total of 480 female ducks (age: 28 days) were randomly divided into five treatments (six replicates per group; 16 ducks per replicate). The control group received a basal diet and the treatment groups received the basal diet supplemented with by 3%, 6%, 9% or 12% FRF.

Dietary DL-methionine supplementation improves growth performance of Linwu ducks by regulating redox state and intestinal mucosal morphology.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with different levels of DL-methionine (DL-Met) on growth performance, intestinal mucosal morphology and antioxidant capacity of Linwu ducks. The experiment was conducted to classify 330 healthy 49 days of age female Linwu ducks into 5 treatment groups with 6 replicates per treatment and fed diets with DL-Met levels of 2.5 g/kg, 3.

Potential of dietary hemp and cannabinoids to modulate immune response to enhance health and performance in animals: opportunities and challenges.

Cannabinoids are a group of bioactive compounds abundantly present in plant. The active components of cannabis with therapeutic potential are known as cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are divided into three groups: plant-derived cannabinoids (phytocannabinoids), endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids), and synthetic cannabinoids.
