Dose-dependent effects of dietary quercetin on performance, egg quality, metabolic health, and antioxidant defense in laying hens: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Dietary quercetin effectively boosts productivity, egg quality, metabolic health, and antioxidant defense in laying hens in a dose-dependent way. Supplementing at 400-600 mg/kg seems optimal for maximizing laying performance and antioxidant levels, supporting quercetin as a promising phytogenic feed additive for sustainable poultry farming.
