Abstract: Flavonoids are important natural plant compounds widely distributed in flowers，seeds，nuts，roots and bark of higher plants. They have a wide range of pharmacological activities such as antiviral，antibacterial， antioxidant，antihypertensive，lipid??lowering and anti??inflammatory. This paper mainly reviews the pharmacological effects of flavonoids such as rutin，quercetin and genistein，etc. Their applications in improving the growth， reproductive performance，and immunity as well as the quality of meat and eggs for livestock and poultry. This research provides theoretical support for the application of flavonoids（rutin，quercetin，genistein，etc.）in livestock and poultry breeding.
