Abstract

Funkcionalna hrana primarno služi poboljšanju ljudskog zdravlja te podizanju kvalitete života.
Upravo iz tog razloga je potrebna ciljana hranidba životinja. Glavni cilj rada je ispitati kako
prilagođena prehrana životinja može dovesti do proizvodnje visokokvalitetnih animalnih
proizvoda s dodatnim zdravstvenim koristima za ljude. Funkcionalna hrana, obogaćena
specifičnim nutrijentima, igra ključnu ulogu u smanjenju rizika od bolesti i unapređenju općeg
zdravlja, pružajući zdravstvene prednosti koje nadilaze osnovnu nutritivnu vrijednost. Rad se
usredotočuje na analizu nutritivne vrijednosti mlijeka, mesa, jaja i ribe, te na mogućnosti
obogaćivanja njihove prehrane s ciljem poboljšanja zdravstvenih ishoda kod ljudi. Primjeri
uključuju obogaćivanje hrane za životinje omega-3 masnim kiselinama, selenom i vitaminom
E, što rezultira funkcionalnim proizvodima koji mogu smanjiti rizik od kardiovaskularnih
bolesti, poboljšati imunološki sustav i očuvati zdravlje kostiju. Ovaj rad doprinosi znanosti
kroz istraživanje potencijala funkcionalne hrane kao odgovora na suvremene zdravstvene
izazove. Posebna pažnja posvećena je fermentiranim mliječnim proizvodima, bogatim
probioticima, koji pozitivno utječu na crijevnu mikrofloru i opće zdravlje. Funkcionalna hrana
postaje ključna u prevenciji bolesti poput raka, dijabetesa i neurodegenerativnih poremećaja,
pružajući inovativna rješenja za očuvanje i unapređenje zdravlja.

Abstract (english)

Functional food primarily serves to improve human health and raise the quality of life. It is
precisely for this reason that targeted feeding of animals is needed. The main goal of the work
is to examine how adapted animal nutrition can lead to the production of high-quality animal
products with additional health benefits for humans. Functional foods, enriched with specific
nutrients, play a key role in reducing disease risk and improving overall health, providing
health benefits that go beyond basic nutritional value. The work focuses on the analysis of the
nutritional value of milk, meat, eggs and fish, and on the possibilities of enriching their diet
with the aim of improving health outcomes in humans. Examples include fortifying animal
feed with omega-3 fatty acids, selenium and vitamin E, resulting in functional products that
can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, improve the immune system and preserve bone
health. This work contributes to science through research into the potential of functional food
as a response to contemporary health challenges. Special attention is paid to fermented milk
products, rich in probiotics, which have a positive effect on intestinal microflora and general
health. Functional food is becoming essential in the prevention of diseases such as cancer,
diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders, providing innovative solutions for preserving and
improving health.
