Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Konstantinos Fegeros"
- Konstantinos Fegeros' research primarily focuses on the impact of dietary additives, particularly phytogenics and probiotics, on gut health and overall performance in broiler chickens, emphasizing the role of antioxidant capacity and gut microbiota.
- His studies reveal that both mycotoxins like deoxynivalenol and fumonisins can negatively influence gut health, while dietary inclusion of phytogenics can enhance the expression of cytoprotective genes and improve antioxidant levels in broilers.
- Fegeros's findings suggest that specific dietary formulations, including the use of probiotics and reductions in dietary energy and protein levels, can effectively modulate gene expression related to gut barrier function and enhance the nutritional uptake of broilers.
