The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of gum Arabic supplementation on short-chain fatty acids, cecal microbiota, immune-related gene expression, and small intestinal morphology in post-hatched broiler chicks. On the day of hatching, four hundred thirty-two commercial male broiler chicks were randomly allocated into six treatments with twelve cages as replicates of six chicks each for 24 days. Dietary treatments (T1 to T6) were supplemented with 0.

- - The study focused on how hydrolyzed yeast (HY) supplementation affects growth, woody breast myopathy, and intestinal health in heat-stressed broiler chickens, using a 35-day experiment with various HY dosage groups.
- The results showed that an 800 mg/kg HY diet reduced the feed conversion ratio and mortality rate during heat stress, along with lessening the incidence and severity of woody breast condition.
- Additionally, HY supplementation improved gene expressions related to antioxidants and immunity, indicating potential benefits for maintaining gut health and overall performance in heat-stressed poultry.
Despite its biological importance, excess copper induces organ damage, especially to the liver. Disruption of critical signaling cascades that control redox status, inflammatory responses, and cellular apoptosis significantly contributes to the copper-induced hepatotoxicity. The present work explored the hepatoprotective ability of bergenin against the copper-induced hepatotoxicity using male Wistar rats as a mammalian model.

Drawing on a sample of 676 university students from diverse academic backgrounds, we employed a structured survey questionnaire to measure their perceptions of ChatGPT as a learning tool. The collected data were then analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS 4 software.

- - The study investigates differences in growth performance, body temperature, and intestinal structure between male and female broiler chickens (Ross 308) in response to varying levels of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) supplementation.
- - Results show that male broilers outperformed females in body weight gain and feed intake, with higher benefits from a 0.12% GAA diet, although both sexes had similar results in certain carcass traits and serum metabolites.
- - GAA positively impacted intestinal morphology, increasing parameters like villus height and goblet cell count, with male chicks consistently showing greater values than females, especially in the ileum and duodenum segments.
