Abstract: Oxidative stress that occurs in modern livestock and poultry production brings damages to the health and reduces the performance of livestock and poultry. Modern systematic animal nutrition believes that the imbalance of free radical homeostasis in livestock and poultry is the root cause leading to the oxidative stress-inflammatory response-immune function imbalance, which threatens the health and reduces the performance of livestock and poultry. A regulatory network composed of multiple signaling pathways in livestock and poultry maintains the free radical homeostasis together. In this paper, research advances on regulatory mechanisms of p38MAPK, Nrf2-ARE, NF-κB and other oxidative stress related signaling pathways in livestock and poultry production and corresponding nutritional strategies are reviewed, in hoping to provide references for alleviating oxidative stress damages, ensuring animal welfare, and improving production performance in livestock and poultry production.

Key words: livestock and poultry production, oxidative stress, signaling pathway, nutritional strategy
