Selenium yeast alleviates diquat-induced oxidative stress and testicular damage in roosters.

Diquat (DQ) is a pro-oxidant that generates free radicals in cells through redox reactions, leading to the induction of oxidative stress. During the processes of growth and reproduction, poultry are particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress. Selenium yeast (SeY) serves as an organic selenium source characterized by high activity and low toxicity, imparting antioxidant effects.

Surfactin from enhances immune response and contributes to the maintenance of intestinal microbial homeostasis.

Unlabelled: Surfactin, a lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by spp., has emerged as a promising bioactive compound due to its potent inhibitory effects on bacterial and viral pathogens. This showcases its potential as a non-antibiotic strategy for managing infectious diseases.
