Dose–response study of a fenugreek-based antibiotic alternative in Bábolna Tetra-SL chicks (1–42 days old) with mixed bacterial infections
The findings of this study suggest that low-dose fenugreek supplementation could be a viable strategy for reducing <i>Salmonella</i> shedding in poultry, potentially contributing to reduced antibiotic use in poultry farming and thus playing a role in the global effort to combat antimicrobial resistance. Future research will involve large-scale industrial trials and next-generation sequencing to evaluate the additive's impact on gut microbiota composition.
