Effect of dietary Chlorella vulgaris on growth, antioxidant status, muscle amino acids, and pathological alterations in broilers exposed to aflatoxin B1
Randomized trial shows that Chlorella supplementation improves growth and antioxidant status in broilers exposed to aflatoxin B1, indicating dietary benefits.
Key Points
This investigation aims to evaluate the effects of Chlorella vulgaris on growth, oxidative stress, and muscle amino acid profiles in broilers exposed to aflatoxin B1.
200 male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were divided into 4 groups with 50 chicks each, and interventions included different dietary treatments.
Groups included a control, aflatoxin B1-treated, Chlorella-treated, and a combination group of both.
Pathological examinations were conducted alongside assessments of growth performance, oxidative status, and amino acid profiles.
