PODCAST by LOHMANN - 10 Questions about OXIDATION, OXIDANTS AND ANTIOXIDANTS IN LAYER NUTRITION

Today’s episode is all about oxidation—the silent process
that gradually damages fats, oils, vitamins, proteins, and
ultimately flock performance. It’s a hidden challenge that can
reduce egg production, weaken shell quality, lower feed
efficiency, and increase oxidative stress, often without obvious
warning signs.  


To help us better understand this often-overlooked subject, we're
delighted to welcome Asad Sultan, Regional Nutritionist for
Asia at LOHMANN BREEDERS and the author of our latest Toolbox
article, “Oxidation, Oxidants and Antioxidants in Layer
Nutrition.” In this practical guide, Asad explains not only
what oxidation is, but more importantly how farmers and feed
millers can recognize it early and prevent costly losses through
better feed management and antioxidant strategies.  


Over the next few minutes, we’ll explore ten key questions—from
what’s really happening inside a tank of oil when oxidation
begins, to why apparently “good-looking” feed may already be
causing problems, and what practical steps producers can take
immediately to protect both feed quality and flock performance.


Whether you’re a nutritionist, feed mill manager, veterinarian,
or egg producer, this conversation is full of practical insights
you can apply on your farm tomorrow.
