According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the antioxidant properties of BHT also give it an entry into the global animal feed industry. BHT, among others, is commonly used across the animal feed sector to prevent oxidation of feeds as well as feedstuffs.

BHT prevents the rancidity of fats contained in the feedstocks while also inhibiting the destruction of amino acids, vitamin E, D, and A; ensuring that animal feeds maintain their nutritional value. These capabilities have allowed BHT to draw in revenues from the commercial fish food sector over the last two decades.
