Abstract
Abstract Agro-industrial by-products can play an important role in the animal feeding, being an alternative to conventional raw materials. These two wastes can be considered as important sources of bioactive compounds that can be used in animal feed with multiple benefits for animal health. This study has investigated the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant in vitro capacity of grape seed and sea buckthorn meals, as waste resulted from the oil industry in order to be used in swine nutrition. The in vitro study was realised on swine peripheral blood mononuclear cells challenged with LPS and treated or not with grape seed meal and sea buckthorn meal extracts. Our results show that both extracts have the capacity to attenuate the inflammation and oxidative stress induced by LPS. The effect induced by the grape seed meal extract was in majority of cases more important than of the sea buckthorn, this effect might be due to a different composition in bioactive compounds (polyphenols, PUFA etc) of the two extracts.
