Nutritional strategies to alleviate heat stress in broiler chickens and laying hens: role of functional nutrients.
Review in Journal of animal science and technology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the negative impact of heat stress on broiler chickens and laying hens and to explore the potential of dietary functional nutrients in mitigating these effects. Heat stress in poultry was found to negatively influence productivity and immune response while simultaneously increasing mortality, internal nutrient requirements, and stress-related hormones levels. These physiological changes led to increase of blood glucose levels, respiration, muscle tension, and neural sensitivity. To address these heat stress-induced challenges, the inclusion of functional nutrients in poultry diets may offer several benefits, including: (i) attenuation of heat stress responses, (ii) enhancement of immune function, (iii) improvement of antioxidant capacity, (iv) maintenance of productivity, and (v) promotion of intestinal health. These functional effects are expected to enhance disease resistance and overall productivity. However, the effectiveness of dietary functional nutrients may differ based on the specific type of additive, the method of administration, and physiological and environmental conditions. Therefore, it is crucial to optimize the selection and application of functional nutrients to the particular needs and context of each poultry farming operation. In conclusion, this study provides foundational insight and strategic recommendations for practical use of dietary functional nutrients to reduce the impact of heat stress in broiler chickens and laying hens.
