Article Synopsis
- Ammonia (NH) is a toxic gas that negatively impacts the environment and the immune systems of chickens, although the exact mechanisms behind these effects are not fully understood.
- In this study, researchers used advanced imaging techniques to observe structural damage in the bursa of Fabricius and thymus in chickens exposed to NH, including swollen mitochondria and other cellular changes.
- The exposure also led to an enhanced immune response, activating specific inflammatory pathways and upregulating important genes related to inflammation, which may inform future treatments to support poultry health.
