Reveals that ferulic acid alleviates oxidative stress in ducks, suggesting potential benefits for poultry health.
Oxidative stress is a major factor that limits the development of the poultry industry. Ferulic acid (FA) has an antioxidant effect in birds, but the mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we stimulated oxidative stress in 28-day-old female Linwu ducks by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and fed them a diet supplemented with FA for 28 days. Results showed that FA alleviated LPS-induced growth performance regression, oxidative stress, and microbiota imbalance in ducks. An integrated metagenomics and metabolomics analysis revealed that
