Effects of Sodium Butyrate Forms on Carcass Performance, Pulmonary Hypertension, Metabolic Health and Oxidative‐Inflammatory Responses in Broiler Chickens Under Cold Stress at High Altitude

Key Points

Carcass yield improved with sodium butyrate supplementation, addressing cold stress challenges.
Dietary sodium butyrate at 0.1% reduced pulmonary hypertension and enhanced metabolic health in chickens.
Intervention analysis evaluated the impact of sodium butyrate on oxidative-inflammation responses.
Highlights the importance of nutritional strategies in supporting broiler production under environmental stress.

Abstract

Dietary supplementation, particularly with ESB at 0.1%, effectively mitigated the adverse effects of high-altitude cold stress by improving carcass yield, reducing pulmonary hypertension, enhancing metabolic and liver health and strengthening antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses. ESB is identified as an optimal nutritional strategy for supporting broiler production in challenging environments.
