Research Progress on Bioactivity of Chlorogenic Acid and Its Application in Animal Production
Chlorogenic acid is a depside extracted from plants with a variety of biological activities including antioxidant,anti-inflammatory,antibacterial,antiviral and vascular protection and so on.In recent years,it has been found that chlorogenic acid can regulate nutrient metabolism,promote animal growth and develop-ment,improve reproductive performance,improve product quality and reduce environmental pollution in ani-mal production.This paper summarizes the chemical structure and source of chlorogenic acid,the biological ac-tivity and corresponding mechanism of action,and its application in animal production,in order to provide the-oretical support for the development of chlorogenic acid as a new feed additive.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(3):1389-1398]
