Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although antimicrobials are a fundamental and irreplaceable resource to treat the onset of diseases, more restrictions have been recently applied on their use in veterinary medicine due to the rising problem of antimicrobial resistance. Dietary antioxidants can decrease the risk of pathology development and the aging process, and recently, antioxidant therapy has seen renewed interest in cancer research. Nowadays, our understanding of the importance of nutrition has increased considerably, and the role of antioxidants has become fundamental in animal health, since they are pivotal for developing functional diets. Antioxidants can be found in microorganisms, animals, and plants or can be chemically synthesized in laboratories. One of the most cost-effective opportunities in nutrition is represented by using by-products from the agroindustry that can be exploited to supplement functional compounds in diets. The dietary supplementation of antioxidants is fundamental for developing functional diets to cope with oxidative stress, prevent pathologies, and decrease therapeutic treatments in livestock and pets.
Due to the success of the first edition, we are glad to guest-edit the second edition of this Special Issue on innovative antioxidants for animal nutrition. We are seeking papers related to the aforementioned topic.
