Description
Wang and colleagues reported in twenty twenty-four on feeding bile acids to older laying hens. As hens age past their peak, laying can fall and fat can build up in the liver. Bile acids help break down fat during digestion. The team fed one hundred forty-four hens, aged seventy weeks, for five weeks. Birds got a plain diet or diets with a low or high dose added.
The added acids did not clearly change laying output during the trial. Treated hens had more follicles, and their eggs had heavier shells and deeper yolk color. Liver fat fell, and liver cells showed smaller fat spaces. The low dose also shifted gene activity away from making fat and toward breaking it down.
