Overview

Randomized trial evaluates phloretin's impact on growth and antioxidant profile in heat-stressed broilers, suggesting beneficial effects.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate how phloretin affects growth performance, serum parameters, and antioxidant profiles in heat-stressed broilers.
  • 240 Arbor Acres broilers aged 22 days were divided into four groups: one control and three heat-stressed with varying phloretin levels.
  • Broilers were housed at 23°C for the control and 30.5°C for the heat-stressed groups, with diets including 0, 100, and 200 mg/kg phloretin.
  • Serum samples were collected at 42 days of age to measure various biochemical and antioxidant metrics.
  • Heat stress significantly decreased FBW, BWG, FI, serum TP, TG, T4, GSH, CAT, and T-AOC levels while increasing FGR and serum MDA.
  • The 200 mg/kg phloretin group showed increased FBW, BWG, FI, serum TP, TG, T4, GSH, CAT, and T-AOC, and decreased FGR and MDA.
  • Phloretin supplementation improved GSH-Px, γ-GCS, and Nrf2 levels while reducing HSP70 in heat-stressed broilers.
