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.
