“…They are beneficial micronutrients (DiMascio, Kaiser, & Sies, 1989;McDowell, 1989; and exert antioxidant effect via their ability to quench singlet oxygen and trap peroxyl radicals (Burton & Ingold, 1984). Antioxidants improve animal origin food quality in terms of colour, oxidative stability, tenderness, and storage properties (Angelo, 1992;Flachowsky, 2000;Flachowsky, Engelman, Sunder, Halle, & Sallmann, 2002). Lycopene, a member of the carotenoids, is mostly found in tomato and watermelon.…”

“…Thus the excess production of free radicals, or the lack of antioxidant protection, can shift this balance in favour of oxidative stress. It is now well recognised that oxidative stress plays a major role in many degenerative pathologies [20]. Free radical formation is considered as a pathobiochemical mechanism which is involved in the initiation phase of various human diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, some forms of cancer, muscular degeneration and a variety of neurodegenerative diseases.…”

“…Levels as high as 1.2 g·day -1 in diets have been fed to growing-finishing pigs without showing toxic effects [15]. No signs of toxic effects have been reported in studies on rats, chicks and humans using vitamin E in the range of 1000-2000 mg·kg -1 of diet [1,5,16].…”

Vitamin E in immunity and reproductive performance in pigs

-This review is focused on studies of vitamin E in immunity and reproductive performance in pigs. There are reports that vitamin E can have a positive effect on some parameters of the immune system in pigs. The optimal level of vitamin E needed to improve the immune system has not been determined because of several factors such as the composition of the diet, feed consumption, the rate of animal growth and living conditions or stress. Moreover, the way of action of vitamin E in enhancing immunity is still unclear but according to reports it may have antioxidant properties as well as an immunomodulator effect. In several studies, an increase in litter size and a reduction of preweaning piglet mortality have resulted from increasing dietary vitamin E intake during gestation or by intramuscular injection of vitamin E and/or selenium. However, according to reports, the positive effect of vitamin E on reproductive performance remains unclear due to the low number of animals used in most experiments.vitamin E / pig / immunity / reproductive performance / placental transfer

“…Oxidative stability has been improved by antioxidant supplementation for foods of animal origin (Flachowsky, 2000;Flachowsky et al, 2002). Recent studies have shown that diets enriched with antioxidant substances could be used to attenuate the negative effects of environmental stress, which implies that detrimental effects of environmental stress could be partly consequent to induction of oxidative stress (Bollengier-Lee et al, 1998;.…”

The Effects of Tomato Powder Supplementation on Performance and Lipid Peroxidation in Quail

Recent studies have suggested a protective role for lycopene, an antioxidant carotenoid, in the prevention of stress including environmental stress. Tomatoes and tomato products are the major dietary source of lycopene. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of dietary tomato powder supplementation on the performance and lipid peroxidation of meat in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) exposed to a high ambient temperature of 34°C. A total of 180 ten-day-old male quails were randomly allocated into 6 groups consisting of 10 replicates of 3 birds. Birds were kept in wire cages in a temperature-controlled room at either 22°C (thermoneutral) or 34°C (heat stress) for 8 h/ d (0900 to 1700 h during the study). Birds were fed either a basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with 2.5 or
