Ferulic acid improves growth performance and lipid metabolism and bile acid level partially by activating the <scp>PPAR</scp> and <scp>CYP7A1</scp> pathways in broilers
FA appears to enhance average daily gain, improve lipid metabolism partially by activating the AMPK/PPAR pathway, and increase bile acid levels by activating CYP7A1. FA doses at 100 mg kg<sup>-1</sup> are recommended in commercial broilers. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
