Abstract
The global effects of climate change are among the most significant and pressing concerns for the coming decades. The demand for animal products has been expanding as a result of the rapid increase in the global population, rising income levels, and shifting lifestyles. Due to these conditions, there is a rise in the diversity of animal production. While the livestock sector is managing these difficulties, it has also significantly increased the dangers associated with climate change. Multiple etiological factors are involved in oxidative stress, including high humidity, sun radiation, wind speed, and ambient temperature. Oxidative stress compromises animal health and productivity, exhibits numerous chronic inflammatory and cardiovascular disorders, and also possesses carcinogenic properties. Components of animal feed include proteins, lipids, and other organic substances that, on exposure to free radicals, become rancid, lose their nutritional value, and produce toxic substances that damage animal health. Antioxidants are capable of neutralizing the oxidants from metabolism and alleviating the oxidative damage that can be obtained from nutrition, while others are created as byproducts of bodily metabolism. They are broadly classified as natural and synthetic antioxidants. The popular antioxidants used in animal feed are ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol, trace minerals (copper, zinc, selenium, etc.), and various plant-derived compounds such as flavonoids and carotenoids. This article focuses on understanding the effects of antioxidants and oxidative stress, including their types and impacts on the various systems of the body.
