| Popis: | The present study was aimed to evaluate oxidative stress, hemato-biochemical and plasma mineral profile in transition buffaloes along with therapeutic efficacy of herbal Vitamin E-Selenium powder in reducing oxidative stress. Hundred multiparous Murrah buffaloes in advanced pregnancy were grouped according to transition stage i.e., Far off dry (FOD), Close up dry and Fresh (F). Blood samples were collected during each stage for evaluation of various parameters of oxidative stress viz. lipid peroxidation (LPO), superoxidase dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione (GSH), various hemato-biochemical parameters and plasma mineral profile. The mean LPO level in buffaloes increased significantly, whereas the mean SOD and GSH levels decreased significantly throughout the transition period from FOD to F stage. Total leukocyte count was significantly increased at F stage. Significant decrease was observed in levels of total plasma protein, albumin and glucose, whereas significant increase was observed in levels of plasma urea nitrogen, beta hydroxyl butyric acid and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) after parturition at F stage. Significantly low levels of potassium and copper were observed at F stage. Therapeutic trail of herbal Vitamin E-Selenium powder conducted on 12 buffaloes revealed significant decline in LPO and NEFA levels and significant increase in milk fat percentage in the tests. These findings revealed that LPO, SOD and GSH are good indicators of oxidative stress in transition buffaloes and oral supplementation with herbal Vitamin E-Selenium powder reduces the oxidative stress in transition buffaloes and should be included in feeding regimen during transition period. |
