Description
Chengfeng Zhao and co-authors test a mulberry leaf extract as a feed additive for chickens under chemical stress in this 2024 study. Oxidative stress harms gut health and growth in broiler farming. The extract is rich in a compound called DNJ, drawn from mulberry leaves long used in folk practice.
The team raised 240 broilers in six groups, some stressed with peroxide injections and some fed graded doses of the extract. At the lowest dose, gut lining height and structure improved, and key antioxidant enzymes rose in parts of the intestine. A gut-protective gene also switched on more strongly at the two lower doses. Higher doses looked less helpful and may even harm gut health. The authors judge the extract promising below eighty milligrams per kilogram of feed, and they call for work on how it acts inside the bird gut.
