Antox-Fizz 

Redox reactions are important biochemical processes in animal cells. Under healthy conditions, oxidation and antioxidant systems are in balance (figure 1). However different stressors such as high stocking densities, intensive feeding, temperature changes, transportation, pathogens, mycotoxins, poor farm management and preslaughter stress may lead to excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting in shortage of antioxidants and thus causing oxidative stress (figure 1, right). This results in cell damage, cell death and ultimately decreased performance, reduced egg quality and poor meat quality. Therefore, supplementing natural antioxidants in the diet of producing animals may help to prevent the negative effects of oxidative stress on performance and product quality (Figure 1, left).
