Dietary energy levels regulate feed intake of broilers through the brain-gut axis
These results suggest that dietary energy levels modulate FI through BGA remodeling, integrating appetite hormones, hypothalamic signaling, and gut health, with high-energy diets increasing weight at the expense of intestinal integrity. Future studies could examine long-term effects and explore targeted interventions to maintain growth while protecting intestinal integrity under high-energy feeding.
