Ferroptosis, a biologically significant form of regulated cell death, participates in the pathological processes of various metabolic diseases and toxicoses. The occurrence of ferroptosis adversely impacts animal production performance and may even lead to mortality, resulting in substantial economic losses for livestock farmers. Consequently, identifying effective functional additives to mitigate or block ferroptosis is of paramount importance. Plant extracts, defined as secondary metabolites isolated from plant tissues through standardized processes, typically contain bioactive compounds with well-documented pharmacological or regulatory functions, including alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides. These natural constituents exhibit regulatory effects on iron ion homeostasis, glutathione metabolism, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation, thereby counteracting ferroptosis. This review summarizes the pathogenic mechanisms of ferroptosis and the modulatory roles of plant extracts in its regulation, aiming to provide novel insights for the development of functional additives in animal husbandry.
