ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to determine the biochemical profile, few serum enzymes and total antioxidant and oxidant status in pregnant crossbred cows at three different stages and in nonpregnant crossbred cows as well. Blood samples were collected from three different farms and analyzed for glucose, cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, triglyceride, AST, ALT, GGT, total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) by using commercially available kits. Significantly high values of LDL-C and AST were observed during mid pregnancy stage and then turned down at advance pregnancy stage, whereas gradual increase in cholesterol and triglycerides, and a gradual decline in TAS was observed from early to advance pregnancy in all animals in this study. Serum glucose, HDL-C, ALT, GGT and TOS were found non-significant. In conclusion, disturbance in food intake and rise in metabolic processes lift up oxidative stress in crossbred cows especially at advance pregnancy stage and can be determined by supervising blood alterations.
