Mitigative role of Astaxanthin Nanoparticle on Laying Hens of various ages exposed to heat stress: The role of Microbiota-gut-brain-axis
Heat stress significantly hampers poultry production, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. While nutritional interventions are used, underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Hypothalamic transcriptomics across contrasting thermal environments reveals the molecular disruptions induced by heat stress and the protective effects of dietary astaxanthin.
