“…The development of immune organs is crucial for establishing a robust immune response in young animals[ 28 ]. Owing to the lack of independent feeding ability and compromised disease resistance following dietary changes during weaning, young pigeons are highly vulnerable to diseases commonly found in pigeon populations, such as salmonellosis and Newcastle disease, often resulting in death[ 29 , 30 ]. Alternatively, our results revealed that puerarin supplementation facilitated thymus development in pigeons during the early rearing phase.…”

“…Currently, domestic pigeons ( Columba livia ) are raised as a sort of commercial meat-type poultry in China ( 1 ), with a yearly production of around 680 million squabs, accounting for 80% of worldwide production ( 2 ). However, pigeons are the reservoirs of Salmonella and Trichomonas gallinae , and young pigeons during 1–3 months old are very susceptible to infection because of the weaning stress ( 3 , 4 ). Although antibiotics have played a critical role in preventing pathogen infection and promoting animal production, the food and drug security organizations have called for restricting the use of antibiotics and chemotherapies in poultry, livestock, and aquaculture because of their adverse consequence on the development of antimicrobial resistance, and thereby posing a potential threat to human health ( 5 7 ).…”
