Dietary nano-manganese supplementation enhances intestinal integrity, muscle traits, and tight junction protein expression in broilers
Mn-NP supplementation at 40-60 mg/kg optimally enhanced feed efficiency, jejunal morphology, and intestinal barrier integrity without adverse health effects. These findings highlight Mn-NP as a sustainable alternative to conventional Mn supplementation, improving gut health and meat quality while reducing mineral excretion. Future studies should validate long-term safety and commercial-scale applications.
