     An approach to increase the efficiency of the poultry industry is to supplement the feed additives in diets to enhance growth rates, optimize egg production, mitigate disease prevalence, and improve feed utilization. Primary constituents of poultry diets incorporate cereal grains, predominantly corn, along with wheat, barley, sorghum, and other grains. Additionally, a predominant protein source e.g. soybean meal is utilized, although alternative protein sources, both of animal and plant origin, exist. Beyond these components, the feed nutritional quality is influenced by factors such as presentation, microbial contamination, the presence of antinutritional substances, digestibility, palatability, and intestinal
