Comprehensive study on the impact of ginger extract on laying performance, egg quality, inflammatory responses, intestinal barrier function, and cecal microbiome and resistome in laying hens.

Experimental models have been extensively used to explore the effects of ginger extract (GE) on oxidative stress and immune response. However, the influence of GE dietary supplementation on gut microbial composition, function, and the resistome in laying hens remains not fully understood. This research investigated the impact of GE supplementation on laying performance, egg quality, metabolism, inflammation, and the gut microbiome and resistome in laying hens.

Dietary arabinogalactan modulates immunity and improves gut barrier in broilers via regulating metabolome and gut microbiome.

The extraction of polysaccharides from wood by-products is recognized as a green re-utilization approach to shape a recycling-oriented society. In this research, we identified the structural properties of arabinogalactan (AG) extracted from Larix sibirica Ledeb wood chips and verified its efficacy as an additive in broiler framing. Results showed that the molecular weight of AG is 19.

Effects of dietary methionine supplementation on the growth performance, immune responses, antioxidant capacity, and subsequent development of layer chicks.

Deficiencies or excesses of dietary amino acids, and especially of methionine (Met), in laying hens can lead to abnormal protein anabolism and oxidative stress, which affect methylation and cause cellular dysfunction. This study investigated the effects of dietary methionine (Met) levels on growth performance, metabolism, immune response, antioxidant capacity, and the subsequent development of laying hens. A total of 384 healthy 1-day-old Hyline Grey chicks of similar body weight were randomly allocated to be fed diets containing 0.

Lipoamide Alleviates Oxidized Fish Oil-Induced Host Inflammatory Response and Oxidative Damage in the Oviduct of Laying Hens.

Fish oil (FO) is an important source of lipid in functional food and aquafeeds. However, the harmful effects of oxidized fish oil (OFO) on host metabolism and reproductive health are not yet clear. In addition, lipoamide (LAM) has been widely studied as an agent for alleviating various diseases associated with oxidative disruption.

Growth Performance, Bone Development and Phosphorus Metabolism in Chicks Fed Diets Supplemented with Phytase Are Associated with Alterations in Gut Microbiota.

Phosphorus pollution caused by animal husbandry is becoming increasingly problematic, especially where decreasing and non-renewable phosphorus resources are concerned. We investigated the growth performance, bone development, phosphorus metabolism and gut microbiota changes elicited by different phosphorus levels with/without phytase in chicks during the brooding period (1-42 d). Five-hundred-and-forty (540) egg-laying chickens were assigned to six groups (0.
