Abstract
"Nutrition plays a beneficial role on
the immune system of the animal.
Micronutrients, along with energy and
protein, are important for the activation
and proper functioning of the immune
system. Both passive and cell mediated
immunity are positively affected by
micronutrients as they are important to
develop, enhance and restore the immune
functions. Minerals, especially trace
minerals and vitamins act on the
antioxidant system, maintaining health and
improving the productivity of the animal."
