Description
Selim Mert and colleagues test two feed additives in broiler chickens in a 2026 feeding trial. Humate and Yucca schidigera extract were fed alone and together to 240 Ross 308 birds over 42 days, with a plain feed control group for comparison. Outcomes covered growth, carcass traits, gut shape, nutrient uptake, and antioxidant defences.
Birds on the combined diet reached the highest slaughter weight and the best carcass, breast, and thigh yields. Gut villi grew taller and wider in all supplemented groups, with the combined group strongest, and protein uptake peaked there too at day 21. Antioxidant enzymes rose in yucca fed groups. The pairing looks useful for meat bird production.
