Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The One Health concept is a holistic approach to health that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental well-being.

According to this perspective, a well-functioning redox system—capable of mounting appropriate responses to various environmental challenges—can help maintain the health of all life forms across soil, water, and atmosphere.

Our aim is to deepen the understanding of the redox system as a cross-cutting adaptive biochemical network present in all living organisms, with the goal of effectively modulating it in the presence of disease.

By studying redox modulation and antioxidants within the One Health framework, we can gain in-sight into how these systems intersect and influence one another.

Understanding redox balance through antioxidants in this context offers great potential for improved disease prevention and for fostering healthier ecosystems—benefiting humans, animals, and the environment alike.

We therefore welcome the submission of original research articles, short communications, reviews, mini-reviews, commentaries, and other contributions addressing studies related to this important topic.

Oxidative stress is a detrimental factor affecting pig reproductive performance but has rarely been evaluated in clinical fields. We evaluated the potential of diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) and biological antioxidant potential (BAP) as stable markers for assessing oxidative stress in breeding sows. The 28 sows were categorized into a low-parity group (n = 18, parity 1–2) and a high-parity group (n = 10, parity 4–6) at two commercial farms. Blood samples were collected at three stages: farrowing, weaning, and early pregnancy. At each stage, the levels of oxidative stress markers and reproductive performance parameters were statistically analyzed. The findings revealed that heightened levels of oxidative stress in sows at farrowing have negative effects on the total number of piglets at subsequent farrowing. Moreover, the farm employing a group management system demonstrated a superior total number of piglets on subsequent farrowing compared with the farm utilizing individual stall-based management. This study shows that oxidative stress can be evaluated using d-ROMs and BAP, which are associated with reproductive score. Using these parameters, the current oxidative status of sows can be evaluated, allowing for the development of countermeasures to reduce oxidative stress, which in turn may contribute to improved productivity in swine production systems.
