Poultry relevance
A conservative technical reading
Milk-thistle preparations are studied in poultry nutrition chiefly for antioxidant and liver-support applications, including during dietary or mycotoxin challenge.
Practical response can change with species or strain, bird age, challenge pressure, basal diet, processing, route, inclusion rate and interactions with other ingredients. A botanical name alone is therefore not a finished quality specification.
