Abstract: | The present investigation was carried out to assess the erythrocytic oxidative stress indices such as lipid peroxides level
and activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase, and some hematological parameters after treatment
of subclinically ketotic lactating cows with antioxidants, vitamin E and selenium, incorporated in conventional treatment
regimen. The study was carried out using lactating cows reared in small dairy herds in and around Bhubaneswar. Out of 250
urine samples examined, 42 cows were diagnosed positive for subclinical ketosis with an overall incidence of 16.8%. Blood
samples were collected on day 0 (before treatment) and treatment was initiated on day 1 and the second sampling was carried
out on day 7. The hematological parameters improved significantly following treatment as compared to pre-treatment level (day
0). A significant (P < 0.05) improvement was observed on day 7 with respect to hemoglobin level (8.66 ± 0.23 vs. 9.12 ± 0.14 gm/dl)
and packed cell volume (29.7 ± 0.56 vs. 31.1 ± 0.50%) in the group given routine treatment along with antioxidants. The comparison
of mean lipid peroxides level before (day 0) and after treatment (day 7) revealed a significant difference in group I (routine
treatment, P < 0.05) and group II (routine treatment plus antioxidants, P < 0.01). The maximum reduction in SOD activity was
recorded in group II animals after treatment with conventional regimes along with supplemented antioxidants (1.29 ± 0.08 against
1.89 ± 0.15 units/ mg of Hb, P < 0.01). The mean value of SOD activity recorded in group III animals kept as non-treated positive
control (PC) on day 7 (2.59 ± 0.14 units/mg of Hb) was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than the mean level recorded on day
0 (1.91 ± 0.31 units/mg of Hb). An almost similar trend was observed in erythrocytic catalase activity where there was a significant
(P < 0.05) reduction in catalase activity in the group II (RT+A) but there was no significant increase in catalase activity
in non-treated positive control (PC) animals. |
