Complementary effects of probiotics and stimbiotics inclusion on carcass traits, meat quality and antioxidant activity in broiler chickens exposed to cyclic heat stress

Key Points

• Meat quality improved significantly with the inclusion of probiotics and stimbiotics, highlighting their complementary effects.
• Carcass traits showed enhanced metrics, including weight and yield, compared to control groups exposed to cyclic heat stress.
• Observational analysis assessed the impact of dietary interventions on broiler chickens during stressful heat conditions.
• Findings suggest that these dietary strategies could help bolster meat production under challenging environmental conditions.
