Protective effects of a multicomponent toxin binder and organic acid blend on feed efficiency, oxidative status, hepatic histology, and jejunal immune–antioxidant responses in broilers co-challenged with aflatoxin B1 and Clostridium perfringens
Key Points
Multicomponent toxin binder and organic acid blend enhance overall feed efficiency in broilers, improving growth performance.
Broilers co-challenged with aflatoxin B1 and Clostridium perfringens show significantly reduced oxidative stress markers with a p-value of <0.05.
Assessment using hepatic histology and jejunal immune-antioxidant responses demonstrates the herbal blend's protective effects in poultry.
Findings support the notion that dietary interventions can mitigate health risks from mycotoxins in livestock, emphasizing the need for further studies.
