| Özet |
| The world’s population is continuously growing, resulting in an increasing need for meat, particularly poultry. As the poultry industry expands to fulfill this demand, it faces the dual challenge of increasing production while reducing its environmental impact. Even though broiler production has comparatively lower environmental impacts than other livestock species, it remains a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions and nutrient losses occur at various stages of chicken production, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies to minimize environmental impact. Natural feed additives are viable solutions to this issue. These additives enhance nutrient utilization and improve gut health, resulting in better broiler performance and reduced emissions. By optimizing digestive efficiency and minimizing waste by-products, natural feed additives offer a promising approach to lowering the environmental footprint of poultry production. The chapter compiles recent research findings, showing the effectiveness of these additives in broiler production in mitigating the environmental impacts. By integrating these innovative solutions, the poultry industry can sustainably meet the growing demand for meat, thereby contributing to global food security while reducing its environmental impact. |
