Response of broiler chickens fed low-energy diets to increase levels of lysolecithin: linking growth performance with lipid metabolism gene expression, gut microbial modulation, intestinal morphology, and economic efficiency

Lowering dietary energy density cuts feed costs but impairs broiler growth due to the limited fat digestion capacity of young birds. Supplementing low energy diets with lysolecithin (a hydrolyzed soy lecithin product) has been reported to counteract this limitation, as its emulsifying action may enhance fat digestion a...
