Description
Jun Li and co-authors feed broiler chickens fermented palm kernel cake and watch gut health and barn air. Nine hundred birds split into five diets, from plain feed to sixteen percent fermented cake, for three weeks. Growth, gut lining, digestive enzymes, cecal microbes, and ammonia output are all measured. The middle doses shine. At eight and twelve percent, gut villi grow taller, enzymes run stronger, and blood markers of gut leak fall.
Ammonia emissions and fecal acidity drop at those doses too. The plain and middle groups grow alike. Sixteen percent backfires: gut shape worsens, nitrogen handling breaks, and feed efficiency sinks. Microbe shifts accompany the dose curve. The team lands on a sweet spot where waste feed becomes a gut ally and a cleaner barn.
