Influence of Antioxidants and Vitamin A in Sheep Production
Efficient nutrition in sheep is crucial for the success of meat, milk, and wool production. Among the various factors that impact this process, there arises the need to utilize tools for its optimization.
Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between the production and removal of oxidizing agents, resulting in their accumulation.
When this occurs in the body, cells are directly harmed, for example, through DNA fragmentation and loss of plasma membrane integrity.
These damages have been related to low productive performance.
As this oxidative stress can compromise cell integrity, the use of tools that can act as a protective shield, reducing cellular damage and maintaining metabolic viability, is essential.
This also influences reproductive quality, as it provides greater protection and seminal durability. In this context, antioxidants emerge as key elements in promoting fertility and maintaining reproductive quality in sheep.
Antioxidants are substances that have the ability to protect cells against the effects of free radicals produced by the body. They can also promote increased immunity and disease prevention.
Including this substance in the diet prevents the oxidation of oils and vitamins, ensures the intake of safe food, aids in maintaining intestinal health, and consequently, allows
