In physiological conditions mammals produce free radicals (prooxidants), the concentration of which is regulated with antioxidants. When there is a lack of balance between free radicals and antioxidants we talk about oxidative stress, which can be induced by several factors (higher PUFA intake, presence of metal ions and toxins in feed, infections.). Antioxidant supplementation is not beneficial only for the protection of the farm animals alone, but also for the preservation of the nutritional value and flavor of their products. Nevertheless, animal products enriched in antioxidant substances, can be a good source of them for the consumer.
