Oxidative stress is a chemical stress caused by imbalance between the production of free radicals and the ability of organisms to absorb their excess. It is extremely dangerous because affected animals may not exhibit physical symptom(s). It induces a stress with cellular damage that if not adequately restored by antioxidant makes the organism sensitive to serious degenerative disorders. Against this background, a study on oxidative stress in Kalahari Red (KR), West African Dwarf (WAD) and KalaWAD goats fed graded levels of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) powder (TP) during pregnancy and after kidding was evaluated. Forty five goats comprising of 15 goats/breed and divided into five goats per/breed/treatment were used. Dietary treatments which included concentrate diet (CD) as TM-0; CD+2g/kg TP as TM-2; and CD+5g/kg TP as TM-5 were fed for 162days. Blood samples were collected from the goats at the beginning of the experiment; 1st and 2nd trimesters; and within 24hrs after kidding for determination of antioxidant enzymes activities like Superoxide dismutase (SOD); Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px); Glutathione (GSH); Thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS) and Cortisol spectrophotometrically. Results obtained revealed that WAD goats had highest (p |
