ISSUE FOCUS 34 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE July 2025 tive approach to helping birds maintain physiological equilibrium even under challenging conditions. Environmental controls that minimize stress are equally important, as they work synergistically with nutritional interventions to support optimal functioning. The economic benefits of supporting natural homeostatic processes translate directly to improved profitability, making these approaches highly relevant to poultry producers. CONCLUSION In conclusion, Safmannan® has been shown to be an effective solution in preserving the gut barrier and reducing the risk of Clostridium perfringens-induced enteritis in broilers under heat stress conditions. By adsorbing the pathogen and reducing its viability, Safmannan® helps maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier and enables broilers to better withstand the challenges of heat stress. The incorporation of Safmannan® into broiler heat stress management can enhance the resilience of the flock, optimize production efficiency, and ultimately, improve the profitability of broiler operations.
