Abstract:
Present exploration was planned to know the antioxidants status in relation to various environmental ambiences and physiological states of Tharparkar cows from Bikaner district of Rajasthan. Apparently healthy 180 Tharparkar cows were screened from private dairies located in and around Bikaner district, Rajasthan. The blood samples were collected during moderate ambience (October-November), dry-hot ambience (May and June) and humid-hot ambience (July-August). Maximum level of plasma malondialdehyde and plasma oxidase enzyme were observed during humid-hot ambience. During humid-hot, the per cent variation in the value of plasma malondialdehyde and oxidase enzyme were found to be maximum (+91.71) and (+11.01), respectively. It can be reiterated that extent of development of oxidative stress was higher during humid-hot. Higher plasma malondialdehyde and plasma oxidase in present study attempted to illustrate the apparition of oxidative stress in otherwise healthy cows.
