Description
Uchechukwu Edna Obianwuna and co-authors review work from two thousand twenty-four on plant-based feed additives for broiler chickens. These additives, called phytobiotics, come from leaves, roots, seeds, and flowers. Farmers seek them as natural options in place of man-made antibiotics, while demand for chicken meat keeps rising.
The review gathers recent studies on birds raised under normal test conditions. It explains how the additives affect gut shape, the gut wall, gut microbes, defense against cell damage, and immune function. The findings link the additives to better gut health and growth. The authors also note open problems, such as finding the right dose and keeping product quality steady.
