Effect of synthetic antioxidant on biochemical indices in blood of arctic fox (Alopex lagopus)

Abstract

The investigations conducted during the monitoring stage included adult female blue foxes from the A, B, C farms, while II experimental stage covered the animals from farm C. The experimental and control groups were made up by adult females with their offspring at an equal sex ratio. The diet supplied to carnivorous fur animals was supplemented with a synthetic antioxi-dant (RendoxTM Liquid) in order to protect feed components. There was determined the effect of that antioxidant additive to blue fox (Alopex lagopus) diet on some blood biochemical indices (AST, ALT, ALP, LDH and content of cholesterol, urea, creatinine, glucose, bilirubin, uric acid – some of them being recognized as non-enzymatic defense mechanisms and scavengers of reactive oxygen species).
The antioxidant dose applied to animal feed did not have any disadvantageous effect on the animal health state. The female blue foxes and their offspring fed the feed supplemented with the antioxidant did not demonstrate any significant changes in the blood biochemical indices.
