Abstract

Commercial poultry production is related to a range of various stresses. A growing body of evidence
indicates that excess ROS/RNS production, disturbance of redox balance and oxidative stress are major molecular
mechanisms of the most common commercial stresses in poultry production. During evolution, antioxidant defence
systems were developed in birds to survive in an oxygenated atmosphere. It seems likely that all antioxidants in
the body work cooperatively together as a team to maintain optimal redox balance in the cell/body. Nutritional
modulation of vitagenes is considered as a new direction in nutritional research. Therefore, there is an opportunity
to activate a range of vitagenes to maximise internal AO protection and maintain redox balance and improve stress
resistance. Since ROS/RNS are considered to be important signalling molecules, their concentration is strictly
regulated by the antioxidant defence network associated with various transcription factors and vitagenes
