The Cellular Architecture of Feed Efficiency: Can Single-Cell Multi-Omics, Spatial Metabolomics, and Nutrient-Flux Mapping Reveal Hidden Metabolic Specialization across Intestinal, Hepatic, and Skeletal-Muscle Cell Populations in Poultry?
Abstract: Feed efficiency in poultry emerges from complex interactions among nutrient absorption, metabolic transformation, cellular energy expenditure, and productive tissue accretion. However, conventional whole-organ and bulk-tissue approaches inadequately capture the cellular heterogeneity underlying nutrient utilization and metabolic efficiency. This review proposes a cell-resolved framework integrating single-cell multi-omics, spatial metabolomics, and stable-isotope nutrient-flux mapping to elucidate hidden metabolic specialization across intestinal, hepatic, and skeletal-muscle cell populations. Particular emphasis is placed on intestinal …

Enzyme Technology in Animal Nutrition: Enhancing Digestibility, Bioavailability, and Nutrient Utilization in Animal Production
Abstract: Enzyme technology has emerged as a core component of modern animal nutrition, offering practical solutions to improve feed utilization, enhance digestive efficiency, and support sustainable livestock production. This review synthesizes current advances in the application of exogenous feed enzymes in animal diets, with emphasis on their contribution to improved nutrient digestibility, bioavailability, and overall feed efficiency. Key enzymes, including phytases, proteases, carbohydrases, and lipases, are widely utilized to degrade anti …
