Abstract

Oxidative stress is a current subject of research in veterinary medicine and is the basis of many disease states. Understanding the pathophysiology of oxidative stress in ruminants will allow the design of specific antioxidant therapies. The present review aims to examine the role of oxidative stress in pathophysiological conditions and ways to prevent and overcome it by using natural antioxidants. The properties of polyphenols encourage the research and use of various biologically active components as a natural tool to improve animal performance and the quality of animal production. Currently, the development and use of effective antioxidants of natural origin is a priority. They have the ability to protect animals from free radicals and prevent the subsequent oxidative damage that leads to degenerative and pathological processes.
