Microencapsulated Ganoderma lucidum extract improves antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology, and nutrient digestibility in free-range laying hens under tropical conditions
MGE effectively enhances intestinal morphology, antioxidant defense, and nutrient utilization in free-range hens exposed to HS, thereby improving egg quality and the yolk lipid profile. MGE represents a promising natural antioxidant and feed additive for sustainable poultry production under tropical conditions.
