Abstract
Some studies conducted over the past two decades have highlighted therelationship between animal nutrition and immune response. Many of thesestudies were carried out with diets deficient in minerals or vitamins which noware included in the compound feeds formulated for animal production.However, the requirements in some of these micronutrients may beincreased in some particular situations, such as transportation stress,vaccinations or subclinical processes. Consequently the administration ofsupradoses of some of these components might be useful in theestablishment of an effective immune response.In addition, there are some evidences about the immuno-modulatory effectsof some components of the diet that are commonly used in research toimprove the meat or milk quality, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFAs) or phenolic compounds (antioxidant properties). However, anddespite its relevance, the number of in vivo studies with animals, today, still isvery limited.
