Protective effects of a multicomponent toxin binder and organic acid blend on feed efficiency, oxidative status, hepatic histology, and jejunal immune–antioxidant responses in broilers co-challenged with aflatoxin B1 and Clostridium perfringens

Key Points

• Multicomponent toxin binder and organic acid blend enhance overall feed efficiency in broilers, improving growth performance.
• Broilers co-challenged with aflatoxin B1 and Clostridium perfringens show significantly reduced oxidative stress markers with a p-value of <0.05.
• Assessment using hepatic histology and jejunal immune-antioxidant responses demonstrates the herbal blend's protective effects in poultry.
• Findings support the notion that dietary interventions can mitigate health risks from mycotoxins in livestock, emphasizing the need for further studies.
