Development of oxidative stress in farm animals. ROS are generated by the induction of exogenous and endogenous sources. Enzymatic antioxidants, non-enzymatic antioxidants, and metal-binding proteins in the body fight against ROS via free radical scavenging and metal chelation mechanisms. When there is a disequilibrium between the ROS and antioxidants, ROS production will continuously increase and result in the development of a state called oxidative stress.
