Description
Usman Sulaiman and co-authors ran a 2024 study on young broiler chickens, heat before hatching, and a plant compound in feed. Growth and fat control matter for meat quality and for how well farms produce birds. Eggs in one group were warmed at set times in the second half of incubation. After hatching, some chicks also got baicalein in their feed.
At ten days old, the team took blood and fat samples from four groups that mixed both factors. Gene activity linked to fat storage shifted in different ways across the groups. Blood fat levels rose in one feed group as well. The authors read the results as a sign that the feed compound, above all when paired with heat before hatching, can shift fat use in young broilers.
