Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants, adversely affects animal health and reproductive performance, leading to significant economic losses in livestock production. The effective management of oxidative stress is crucial in improving health and reproductive outcomes in livestock.
For the Special Issue “Recent Advances in Applications of Antioxidants in Livestock Health and Reproduction”, we invite cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that explore innovative applications of antioxidants in managing oxidative stress across various livestock species. Key areas of interest include the effects of dietary antioxidants on fertility, immune function, and overall animal health, as well as novel strategies to mitigate oxidative damage during critical physiological stages such as gestation, lactation, and growth. By highlighting recent scientific advances, this Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers, veterinarians, and industry professionals to share insights and develop practical solutions to enhance livestock welfare and productivity through targeted antioxidant interventions.
