Description
Junxin Li and eight co-authors feed a plant extract to meat chickens and track liver and gut health, in a 2026 study. The extract, baicalin, comes from the roots of a herb used in Chinese medicine and is known for fighting cell damage. Sixty-six day-old white-feathered broilers were split into two groups, one on plain feed and one on feed with the extract added.
The fed birds showed stronger defenses against cell damage in blood and liver. Their gut lining grew taller folds, and gut enzymes worked harder. Gene and protein checks tied the gains to a liver path that steers fat burning. Gut germ mixes shifted too, with rises in families that may aid a helpful gut acid.
