Poultry
In poultry production, feed represents one of the main cost factors; therefore, ensuring stable and efficient feed intake is essential for productivity.
The characteristic aromatic profile of alliums provides sensory uniformity to the diet, promoting appetite and consistent feeding behaviour, even under conditions such as heat stress, formulation changes, or variations in management practices.
In laying hens, their use is associated with greater stability of the production cycle, maintaining laying persistence without altering the flavour or aroma of eggs or meat.
In addition, scientific literature has documented that compounds present in alliums may provide further benefits, such as supporting digestive comfort, promoting more efficient feed utilization, and contributing to the maintenance of overall animal well-being.
