Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The balance between pro-oxidant/antioxidant agents in an organism can largely determine the nutrient expenditure as well as the immune status and absence of disease, which in turn can affect productive performances, as well as the quality of the products. Therefore, trying to control oxidative stress in animals, especially in critical periods, is of special relevance to achieve greater efficiencies. For this, the organism possesses control mechanisms at the cellular level, the functioning of which can be increased by the contribution of exogenous antioxidants. Although the diet is a major point of entry for exogenous antioxidants into the individual, there are currently many ingredients whose antioxidant activity or effects in the animal are still unknown.
As a guest editor, I invite you to submit your latest research findings or a review article to this Special Issue, which will bring together current research on antioxidants in animal nutrition. This research may include the use of different compounds of natural or synthetic origin, from extracts of plants, herbs, fruits or seeds, by-products of ingredients of plant origin, vitamins, or minerals, etc., applied to different species or physiological states, in which their administration produces positive or negative effects on the health, productive performances or quality of the products.
Dr. Ana Isabel Rey Muñoz
