title: [Role of the antioxidant system in adaptation of ducks to postnatal development conditions].
abstract: The peculiarities of antioxidant system functioning of duck organism were exposed in postnatal ontogenesis. The liver tissues and blood plasma of daily ducks are characterized by high LPO level, that leads to changes of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase activity. The level of LPO products declines, but disforming of adapt mechanism breaks the coordinating function of enzymes while vitamin A and E provision are deficient sience 7 till 42 days age. In the 8 and 10 ontogenesis weeks the LPO intensification depends on lipid content increase. Perhaps, it is a response on energy need growth of duck organism in forming feather period.
