Abstract

The present article summarises the effect of dietary supplements viz., dietary organic acid (OA) supplements, mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) and β-glucan supplementation on poultry. The article focuses on the effects on immunity, and the follow on benefits to gut development and performance in growing poultry.
