The effects of acetylsalicylic acid on performance, carcass traits, breast meat quality and white striping muscle defects in broiler chickens

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 8, Page 4338-4348, June 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND This research aims to reduce white striping muscle defects induced by vascular inflammation and hypoxia using the anti‐inflammatory, antiplatelet and anti‐atherothrombotic properties of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). To this end, the effects of different doses (0.3, 0.6, 1, 3 and 6 g L−1) of ASA added to drinking water at 24–48 days on
