Abstract: Resveratrol is a natural non-flavonoid polyphenolic compound containing a quinone structure.It has various biological functions,including inhibiting and eliminating excess free radicals in body,activating the body's antioxidant enzyme system and exerting antioxidant function.By regulating a series of inflammatory or anti-inflammatory pathways,it can reduce the expression of inflammatory factors in the body and the inflammatory response.Resveratrol also has important biological functions such as regulating glycolipid metabolism,protecting cardiovascular,anti-cancer,anti-virus,etc.It has the advantages of safety,high efficiency,no residue,no drug resistance,and has broad application prospects in animal production.Animal experiments show that resveratrol can increase the average daily gain,average feed intake,and feed to gain ratio of broilers.It also can improve the quality of fattening pork,increase the longissimus dorsi muscle,pH24 h,redness,crude protein and myoglobin The compound can also reduce muscle brightness after 24 h,shear force,drip loss and backfat thickness,increase antioxidant enzyme activity in animal body,reduce inflammatory factor production,enhance immunity and improve intestinal flora composition and mucosal morphology,inhibits the formation of cancer cells.The authors will review the biological characteristics,physiological functions of resveratrol and its application status in order to provide reference for its application in livestock and poultry production.

Key words: resveratrol; antioxidant; anti-inflammatory; intestinal tract
