Preliminary study on the effects of dry powder and water extract of Neolamarckia cadamba on growth performance, immunity, and intestinal health of yellow-feathered broilers
These results suggest that the dietary supplementation with Nc can enhance immune function, improve small intestinal barrier integrity, and reduce intestinal inflammation to a certain extent. Among the four doses (1% dry powder, 2% dry powder, 0.05% water extract and 0.1% water extract), 1% dry powder and 0.05% water extract were more effective. These findings underscore the importance of exploring alternative feed additives in livestock production, as they may offer a viable strategy for promoting animal health and performance in the absence of traditional antibiotics.
