Modern poultry production demands extreme efficiency, where intestinal health is no longer just a biological metric but the cornerstone of economic sustainability. This comprehensive review, authored by Christiane Silva Souza, Flávio Medeiros Vieites, Lucas Rodrigo Justino, and colleagues, and published in Research, Society and Development (DOI: 10.33448/rsd-v9i3.2475), explores the intrica ...

INTRODUCTIONPhysical treatments, such as expansion and pelleting, are used in the processing of diets with the aim of enhancing feed efficiency. This occurs because during these processes, in addition to starch granule gelatinization, there are also partial protein denaturation, which leads to increased food digestibility and consequently improved broiler performance (Oliveira et al., 2011). Besid ...
