Description
Magdalena Mazur-Kusnirek and co-authors swap oat leftovers into chicken feed in this 2026 study. The protein-rich byproduct comes from oat fiber extraction and could cut reliance on soy meal. Three hundred young broilers were split into four diet groups for six weeks.
Final growth and carcass yield held steady across all diets. Birds on the oat diets carried less belly fat. Mid doses eased gut acidity and lifted gut wall shape scores. The top dose, though, gave the weakest gut wall marks. The authors back the byproduct as a partial soy swap at mid doses, with care at the high end.
