Implication

Experiment reveals Humic Acid enhances meat quality and immune response in broilers under acute cyclic heat stress.

Key Points

  • The research explores the effects of Spirulina platensis and Humic Acid on broiler chickens under heat stress.
  • Broiler chicks were assigned to five dietary groups with different treatments including control and Spirulina/Humic Acid additions.
  • Chicks were exposed to acute cyclic heat stress at 36 °C for 6 hours daily from 22 to 25 days of age.
  • Growth performance, meat quality, immune responses, and intestinal morphology were evaluated.
  • Humic Acid group showed significant improvements in body weight and feed conversion ratio.
  • Serum levels of triiodothyronine and complement 3 were elevated in the SP and HA groups compared to controls.
  • Phagocytic activity was higher in the SP group, with better intestinal morphology observed in the HA group.
