Gypenoside improves the cecal development and redox status by regulating the microbial community in heat-stressed broilers

Key Points

• Gypenoside significantly enhances cecal development and redox status, improving overall health in heat-stressed broilers.
• The study reports a notable increase in microbial diversity among the broilers treated with gypenoside.
• Assessment using a combination of microbiome analysis and physiological metrics reveals the effects of gypenoside.
• This research highlights potential dietary strategies for enhancing broiler health under heat stress conditions.
