Summary: Modern broilers genetically grow fast and have traditionally used antibiotics as growth promoters, but due to increased antimicrobial resistance, alternative growth promoters like probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, and organic acids are now recommended. Organic acids, being weak acids, are safe and have antibacterial, immune-enhancing, and growth-promoting properties. Studies have shown the effects of organic acids on growth, digestion, immune function, and antibacterial activity in broilers.

Summary: This experiment studied the effects of synbiotic or synbiotic plus enhanced organic acid on broiler performance, finding that it can improve growth performance and reduce carcass Salmonella in broilers. Birds fed with synbiotic and enhanced organic acid showed reduced carcass Salmonella load and fewer postchilled carcasses testing positive for Salmonella compared to the control group.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of supplementing paraformic acid (PFA) to the diet of broiler chickens on intestinal development, inflammation, and microbiota. The results showed that PFA supplementation improved intestinal development, suppressed intestinal inflammation, and changed gut microbiota composition in broiler chickens.

Summary: This study demonstrates that organic acids, medium chain fatty acids, and essential oils can effectively reduce Campylobacter in vitro, but their use in vivo is hindered by negative effects on broiler performance.

Summary: The study found that the organic acidsessential oils blend has inhibitory effects on body weight gain in broiler chickens during the starter phase, while the addition of oat hulls increased gizzard weight. Furthermore, these treatments also had some positive effects on gut morphology and microbiota.

Summary: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of adding calcium anacardate as a source of anacardic acid in the diet of broiler chickens. The study found that adding 0.75% calcium anacardate can reduce the proportion of fat in the carcass and improve the lipid stability of the meat without affecting performance at 42 days of age.

Summary: Consumers' increasing interest in the health and nutrition of meat products has led to a willingness to pay more for naturally produced meat that meets high standards and animal welfare. This study examined the muscles of Ross 308 chickens in an ecological system, focusing on the influence of sex on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, fatty acid profile, and histological traits. Results confirmed that sex has a significant impact on the analyzed parameters of pectoral muscles in chickens raised in an organic system.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of dietary supplementation with mixed organic acids on intestinal health, enzyme activity, and antioxidative characteristics in broilers. Results showed that HMOA increased IgA, D-lactate, and interleukin-10 levels in broilers' serum, while LMOA enhanced total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and catalase activity (CAT) in serum, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and CAT levels in the duodenum. Both LMOA and HMOA influenced the cecum microbiota by reducing Escherichia coli abundance, ultimately improving the overall health status of the broilers.

Summary: There is an increasing production trend in organic poultry, but it faces regulatory constraints, consumer concerns, and challenges in terms of nutrition, welfare, health, and sustainability. Adaptability of broilers to organic systems is not only a genotype-environment interaction but also a necessary prerequisite for facing these challenges.

Summary: This study found that sanguinarine can inhibit the invasion ability of Eimeria tenella sporozoites by increasing reactive oxygen species and calcium ions and decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential. It suggests that sanguinarine may be a potential therapeutic drug for coccidiosis.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of steam as an additional method for depopulation of laying hens in a cage-free aviary system. The results showed that steam alone or in combination with heat can lead to faster mortality of hens, and the distribution of carcasses varies in different tiers.
