Antioxidant properties of plant extracts and its application in chicken production

Abstract

The authors theoretically substantiated and practically proved the effectiveness of use of phytogenic drugs in the production of poultry products. In the context of the comprehensive of "ban on resistance" to feed, the use of feed additives with high antioxidant content has a positive effect on the anti-stress ability of broiler chickens, as well as reduce its negative impact at large-scale rearing. The use of antioxidant feed additives in poultry has become one of the most important factors, increasing the productivity of broiler chickens in general in the large-scale farms. The plant extracts have a high potential for use as feed additives in agriculture and are a potentially perspective object of research. This article reviews the antioxidant properties of plant extract feed additives and their application in chicken production, and provides a theoretical basis for the further development and application of plant extracts.
