Abstrakt:	The objective of this study was to investigate the effect and composition of a standardized natural citrus extract (SNCE) on both broiler chickens' growth performances and intestinal microbiota. A total of 930 one-day-old males were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments: a control treatment (CTL) in which broiler chickens were fed with a standard diet and two citrus treatments in which broiler chickens were fed with the same standard diet supplemented with 250 ppm and 2,500 ppm of SNCE, respectively. Each dietary treatment was composed of 10 experimental units (pen) of 31 broiler chickens each. Growth performances such as feed consumption, body weight, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were recorded weekly until day 42. Litter quality was also weekly recorded while mortality was daily recorded. One broiler chicken was randomly selected from each pen (10 chickens/group) and ceca samples were collected for microbiota analysis at day 7 and 42. Chromatographic methods were used to determine molecules that enter into the composition of the SNCE. Results from the characterization of SNCE allowed to identify pectic oligosaccharides (POS) as a major component of the SNCE. In addition, 35 secondary metabolites, including eriocitrin, hesperidin, and naringin, were identified. The experiment performed on broiler chickens showed that the final body weight of broiler chickens fed diets supplemented with SNCE was higher than those fed the CTL diets (P < 0.01). Broiler cecal microbiota was impacted by age (P < 0.01) but not by the dietary supplementation of SNCE. Results indicate that SNCE allowed enhancing chickens' performances without any modulation of the cecal microbiota of broiler chickens. The characterization of SNCE allowed to identify compounds such as eriocitrin, naringin, hesperidin, and POS. Thus, opening new horizons for a better understanding of the observed effect on broiler chickens' growth performances. (© The Author(s) 2023.
