Broilers with a high stocking density benefit from organic acids

A high stocking density was found to have negative effects on the performance and health of broilers. A study published in the journal Animals elaborates on the efficacy of organic acids in broilers under a high stocking density. With the increasing demand for poultry products, reports show that farmers pursue high yields and profitability by elevating the stocking densities in poultry production. However, high stocking density leads to various negative effects on broilers including poor grow
