This study investigated the influence of the consumption of hawthorn (Crataegus tanacetifolia) fruit vinegar (HFV), a fermented product, on meat quality and gut microbiota in broiler chickens under cyclic heat stress (HS). A total of 300 one-day-old male Ross 308 chicks were divided into six groups with five replicates of ten birds, following a 2×3 factorial design with two temperatures (24 and 35°C) and three HFV supplementing levels (0, 2, and 4 mL/L) after one-week acclimation. Broilers in the thermoneutral groups were kept at 24°C, while HS groups experienced 35°C for 8 hours daily from day 21. Feed and water were provided ad libitum under a 24-hour lighting program. HS increased breast pH, reduced b* color value, raised ΣSFA and ΣMUFA levels, and lowered ΣUFA and ΣPUFA ratios. Supplementing 4 mL/L HFV increased breast L* color value and ΣSFA level while reducing ΣUFA ratio. The 2 mL/L HFV dose decreased ΣMUFA and increased ΣPUFA levels. Overall, HFV supplementation improved meat quality and beneficially altered fatty acid composition in heat-stressed broiler breasts. These results suggest that HFV supplementation may be a practical natural additive for broilers under cyclic heat stress and provide new evidence regarding its combined effects on meat quality and intestinal microbiota.

This study compared the effects on performance parameters, intestinal microflora and histology of adding Origanum syriacum (OS) essential oil and an antibiotic (Avilamycin) to the rations of broilers fed under heat stress conditions. The 42-day study used 500 day-old male broilers (Ross-308) divided into 10 groups of 50 animals each. Then, each of these groups was further divided into 5 groups of 10 each. Groups were either kept at 22°C (stress-free) or at 36°C (heat stressed). Birds were fed with 5 experimental diets: control (basic feed (BF) without feed additive), antibiotic (BF + 100 mg/kg Avilamycin), OS 100 (BF + 100 mg/kg OS), OS 300 (BF + 300 mg/kg OS, OS 600 (BF + 600 mg/kg OS). At the end of the study period, some performance parameters, including feed intake, feed-conversion ratio, body weight, average daily weight gain, ileum crypt depth, villus height and microflora, decreased in groups under heat stress without additives (P < 0.01). However, comparison with the control group and the antibiotic group showed that adding OS essential oil provided a benefit close to that of the antibiotic, yet still inadequate, even at the 600 mg/kg dose.
