Optimizing Cassava Starch Residue Inclusion in Broiler Diets: Balancing Growth Performance, Liver Health and Gut Microbial Dynamics

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Moderate inclusion (20–30%) of cassava starch residue in broiler diets improved gut morphology and reduced E. coli counts with minimal adverse effects, while higher levels impaired growth and liver health. The findings highlight CSR's potential as a partial maize replacement, but caution is needed at elevated inclusion rates.

The Effects of Supplementation of Chlorella vulgaris Biomass on Egg Production and Composition of Laying Hens

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Dietary supplementation with Chlorella vulgaris up to 0.5% improved laying hen productivity, increasing egg number and daily production rate without compromising egg weight. Egg nutritional composition remained largely unchanged, with only indicative trends in fatty acid ratio and cholesterol, suggesting potential for productivity enhancement without ...
