Description
Heat stress cuts growth and meat quality in farm chickens, and feed additives from algae and soil matter may blunt that harm. Shimaa Amer and co-authors fed those additives to broiler chickens under repeated heat waves in this 2025 study. The team tracked growth, meat traits, immune responses, and tissue health under the microscope.
One additive is a protein-rich blue-green algae long used in feed. The other is a dark soil extract known to bind toxins and support the gut. Birds on the diets were compared with birds on plain feed through cycles of hot hours. Heat is the top weather threat to poultry profits worldwide. Cheap, natural additives that protect birds through hot spells would help farmers in warming regions.
