Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how water-added betaine (BET) and nano-emulsified vegetable oil (MAGO) influence the carcass and meat quality of broilers under both normal (thermoneutral) and heat stress conditions.
- Researchers divided 640 Ross 308 birds into groups based on their environmental temperature and treatment, evaluating characteristics like dressing percentage, meat quality, and overall carcass traits after 35 days.
- Results revealed that heat stress negatively impacted certain carcass weights and quality metrics, but BET supplementation notably improved dressing percentage and meat quality in stressed conditions, suggesting further investigation of BET and MAGO is warranted.
