Pomegranate peel relieves heat stress in broilers

In a recently published study, researchers found urea-treated pomegranate peel is effective in alleviating the adverse effects of heat stress in broiler chickens. The pomegranate peel contributes to about 26–30% of the total weight of the pomegranate fruit. Therefore, the processing of valuable products from the pomegranate produce large amounts of the peel. Besides the nutritional value, harnessing the peel into an enhanced animal feed product would be an environmentally friendly move. The p
