Popis: Abstract The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of Enteromorpha polysaccharides (EP) on relative organ weight of broilers, and RNA‐seq technique was used to reveal the potential molecular mechanisms of the positive effects of EP on relative organ weight. A total of 396 1‐day‐old male chicks (Arbor Acres) were randomly assigned to six dietary treatments containing EP at 0 (EP0), 1000 (EP1000), 2500 (EP2500), 4000 (EP4000), 5500 (EP5500), and 7000 (EP7000) mg/kg levels for a 35‐day feeding trial. At the end of feeding trail, six birds (one bird from each replicate cage) were randomly selected from each treatment and then slaughtered for relative organ weight analysis. The results showed that the relative weight of bursa of Fabricius were increased in the EP1000 group (p
