Background: A sedentary lifestyle can induce obesity, characterized by the accumulation of abdominal fat. Due to contemporary breeding practices, developing chicks exhibit increased resting time and decreased locomotor activity, resembling the sedentary lifestyle of humans. Developing chicks often show a substantial accumulation of abdominal fat and possess a digestive tract structure similar to humans.

Background: At present, has been reported as a probiotic to be used as a feed additive to improve the production performance of broilers. However, the relevant reports on its derived postbiotics are still limited.

Methods: In this study, a total of 480 day-old Arbor acre broiler chicks with an initial body weight of 52.

Sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) is commonly used for treating drinking water, industrial water, and wastewater. This study aimed to investigate the potential effects of NaDCC-treated waterline drinking water on the growth of AA+ broilers by reducing microbial levels in the waterline. A total of 480 healthy 1-day-old AA+ broilers (46.

In the study, Wheat germ, Hops and Grape seed extracts were made into a mixture (BX). The BX was supplemented in AA + broilers diets to investigate the effects of BX on broiler growth performance, blood indicators, microbiota, and noxious gas emissions in faeces. Four hundred and eighty 1-day-old AA + male broilers with an average initial body weight (44.

The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effects of a probiotic complex (PC) consisting of and on productive performance, carcass traits, immune organ indices, fecal microbiota counts and noxious gas emissions in AA+ male broilers. Three hundred and sixty 1-day-old AA+ male broilers with similar body weight (44.77 ± 0.

Interface interactions play a crucial role in determining the thermomechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/polymer nanocomposites. They are, however, poorly treated in the current multi-scale coarse-grained (CG) models. To develop suitable CG models of CNTs/polymer nanocomposites, we demonstrate the importance of two aspects for the first time, that is, preserving the interfacial cohesive energy and reproducing the interface load transfer behavior of all-atomistic (AA) systems.
