Effects of a Whole-grain Paddy Rice Diet on the pH Distribution in the Gizzard and Retention Time of Digesta in the Crop of Broiler Chicks

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2016
We previously reported that a diet containing 65% paddy rice suppressed the colonization of Campylobacter jejuni in the cecum of broiler chicks, suggesting that this type of diet has positive effects on upper gastrointestinal tract function in broilers.

Synergistic Effects of Garlic Extract and Mannan‐Oligosaccharide Prebiotic Supplementation on Growth Performance, Carcass Quality, Immunity, Gut Morphology and Microbiome in Broiler Chickens

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Garlic extract and mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) synergistically improved broiler growth, carcass weight, immune response, gut morphology and microbial balance, with half‐dose combination (Combo‐I) showing the most consistent benefits, offering a sustainable alternative to antibiotic growth promoters. ABSTRACT This study evaluated the effects of dietary

Dual Modification of Guar Meal via Fermentation and Enzyme Treatment Enhances Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Gut Morphology in Broilers

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Fermentation or enzyme treatment of guar meal at low inclusion levels (3%–6%) significantly improved broiler growth, nutrient digestibility, carcass yield and gut morphology, while higher inclusion impaired performance. Dual modification presents a promising strategy for safe and efficient use of guar meal as an alternative protein source in poultry ...

Properties of caldesmon isolated from chicken gizzard [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1985
Chicken gizzard smooth muscle contains two major calmodulin-binding proteins: caldesmon (11.1 microM; Mr 141 000) and myosin light-chain kinase (4.6 microM; Mr 136 000), both of which are associated with the contractile apparatus. The amino acid composition of caldesmon is distinct from that of myosin light-chain kinase and is characterized by a very ...

Meta‐Analysis of the Efficacy of Spirulina Intervention in Mitigating the Negative Impact of Heat Stress on Production Physiology and Health Indices of Broilers

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 23-34, January 2026.
ABSTRACT There is an increasing number of published studies on the effect of spirulina (an aquatic plant known for its high nutritional value and potential health benefits) intervention on productivity and health of heat‐stressed broilers. However, the effect of spirulina intervention on the performance of broilers exposed to heat stress is poorly ...

Optimizing Growth Performance, Carcass Traits, and Economic Returns in Sasso T44 Chickens via Partial Replacement of Conventional Feed With Locally Sourced Alternative Ingredients

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Poultry farming plays a vital role in improving food security, income generation, and nutrition in Ethiopia, particularly for smallholder farmers. However, the high cost of conventional feed ingredients, such as maize and soybean meal (SBM), poses a significant challenge to sustainable poultry production.

A Review of the Control of Coccidiosis in Poultry Using Natural Additives, Focusing on Gut Health and Immunity

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Coccidiosis is one of the most common diseases in the poultry industry worldwide (especially in broilers aged 3–6 weeks), causing significant economic losses to poultry farmers and governments every year. Conventional methods (anticoccidial chemical compounds) for the coccidiosis debarment and control always present challenges and disadvantages, such ...
