Eco-friendly selenium nanoparticles boost broiler performance and gut health

In a recently published study, researchers employed Bacillus subtilus DA20 isolate to produce eco-friendly selenium nanoparticles that were shown to be beneficial for growth performance, carcass characteristics, and gut health in broiler chickens. Studies show that selenium (Se) is one of the micronutrients needed for enhancing gut microbiota and oxidative stress, improving performance, meat quality, and the antioxidant safety of poultry products.
