Protecting Essential Nutrients: Oxidation can damage fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), carotenoids, and other essential nutrients, especially in feed containing high levels of fats. Antioxidants help protect these vulnerable nutrients, preserving their bioavailability.

Combating Oxidative Stress: Poultry are susceptible to oxidative stress, which occurs when the body's production of free radicals outpaces its ability to neutralize them. Free radicals can damage cells and DNA, leading to various health issues. Antioxidants act as scavengers, neutralizing these free radicals and reducing the risk of oxidative damage.
