“…Priyadarshni (2017) revealed that astaxanthin supplementation enhanced immunity and lowered stress marker levels in Murrah buffaloes and improved reproductive health and milk yield by 7% during heat stress condition. There was 5.39% and 15.6% increase in milk yield in astaxanthin and astaxanthin in combination with prill fat fed groups of buffaloes over control group, respectively during summer season (Somagond et al 2019).…”

Astaxanthin is the potent antioxidant predominantly found in living organisms that are present in marine environment. It is known as "King of antioxidant" or "Super vitamin E" because of its potent antioxidant property. Antioxidant property of astaxanthin known to modulate different biological activity relating to antioxidant defence system, inflammation, immunity and ameliorating adverse effect of oxidative stress during summer season. Its use has been found in improving both male and female reproductive health and production performance of bovines. Astaxanthin helps in hastening of sexual maturity, improving sperm quality, increasing fertility and better development of embryos. It is considered as one of the essential feed additive in combating the adverse effect of climate change on production performance of animals. This review mainly focuses on source, structure and use of astaxanthin as an antioxidant, antiinflammatory, immune stimulator and for improving productive performance of bovines.

“…Dietary supplementation with Phaffia rhodozyma, which is a yeast rich in astaxanthin, led to a higher content of total free amino acids and to improved texture and sensorial attributes on broiler chicken meat [50]. The consumption of astaxanthin at 0.25 mg per kg of body weight per day led to increased milk yield in buffaloes and, when combined with prill fat, a better health status was observed, higher than that of prill fat supplementation alone [51]. Several reports demonstrated the potential use of astaxanthin to promote the wellbeing of animals.…”

Astaxanthin is a high-value carotenoid currently being produced by chemical synthesis and by extraction from the biomass of the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. Other microalgae, such as Chlorella zofingiensis, have the potential for being used as sources of astaxanthin. The differences between the synthetic and the microalgae derived astaxanthin are notorious: not only their production and price but also their uses and bioactivity. Microalgae derived astaxanthin is being used as a pigment in food and feed or aquafeed production and also in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Several health-promoting properties have been attributed to astaxanthin, and these were summarized in the current review paper. Most of these properties are attributed to the high antioxidant capacity of this molecule, much higher than that of other known natural compounds. The aim of this review is to consider the main challenges and opportunities of microalgae derived products, such as astaxanthin as food. Moreover, the current study includes a bibliometric analysis that summarizes the current research trends related to astaxanthin. Moreover, the potential utilization of microalgae other than H. pluvialis as sources of astaxanthin as well as the health-promoting properties of this valuable compound will be discussed.

“…Summer stress can be ameliorated through a variety of methods, such as management techniques (shading / boosting ventilation by utilizing fans) or increasing heat loss from the body i.e. cooling systems (Singh et al 2014); open pen-ridge ventilated thatched roof housing (Mandal et al 2021) or additional water troughs, dietary modification (low fiber and low protein), increasing nutrient concentration in the feed to compensate for lower intake, altering the rate of starch fermentation or increasing energydense material for enhancement of energy density of ration (Somagond et al 2019), dietary vitamin E, Zn, CrPic, betaine and astaxanthin as an antioxidant to reduce oxidative stress caused by heat exposure.…”

“…Khorsandi et al (2016) reported that feeding of heat-stressed transition cows with ruminal bolus increased milk production, suggesting that it ameliorates the adverse effect of stress. Supplementation of feed additives i.e., antistress vitamins like vitamin C, A, E, and Niacin, buffers (Chase 2006), high-density diet (Somagond et al 2019), herbal supplements like betaine (Deshpande et al 2020), astaxanthin (Somagond et al 2020) and Chlorophytum borivilianum (Devi et al 2021a) are also used to ameliorate the effect of summer stress and for sustained production. The nutritional strategies of highproducing dairy cows require additional attention to fulfill their total demand for milk output, health and reproductive potential (Roche et al 2013).…”

Dairy industry plays a significant role in the agriculture sector for sustainable growth. Heat stress, on the other hand, has been proven to have a detrimental impact on dairy output in terms of growth, reproductive performance and milk production in dairy animals, especially in tropical areas. Heat stress is one of the most significant issues facing the dairy industry, as rising temperatures and humidity limit animal productivity throughout the summer, resulting in devastating economic repercussions. The purpose of this review is to gather knowledge on the effects of heat stress on dairy output and how to ameliorate them. The diversion of energy resources from the production to the adaptation pathway may be responsible for the loss in productive capacity of dairy animals, when they are exposed to heat stress. There are different approaches pertaining to relieving the adverse effects of heat stress on dairy production system. These approaches may be classified into three major categories viz. genetic, management and nutritional interventions. These approaches might help dairy animals to perform better by reducing the harmful impacts of heat stress. Appropriate shelter design, giving shade, employing sprinklers, installing cooling devices, and using fans and ventilation systems are among the management strategies. The nutritional interventions comprise ration balancing and providing essential micronutrients to improve the productive and reproductive performance. Some of the most widely used dietary measures to ensure optimal production are inclusion of protein or fat (prill fat), micronutrients antioxidants (vitamins and minerals) and some feed additives (Astaxanthin, betaine, melatonin, Chlorophytum borivilianum) in the diet. These antioxidants and feed additives can be used to attenuate the negative effects of environmental stress. Furthermore, providing adequate energy and antioxidants help to ensure optimum growth, milk production and reproduction efficiency during heat stress. This review provides an overview of the consequences of heat stress on dairy animals, emphasizes essential nutritional strategies for heat stress reduction in dairy animals, and evaluates the influence of various feed supplements on growth, productivity and physiology.
