Abstract
Aim:
Objective of the present study was to investigate the relation
between antioxidant status and postpartum anestrous (PPA)
condition in Murrah buffalo.
Materials and Methods: Jugular blood samples were collected
from two different groups of Murrah buffaloes each group
consisting of 20 animals. Group I was of PPA and Group II were of
cyclic buffaloes. The animals selected were examined for
confirmation for cyclic and acyclic condition (>120 days) after
calving by routine transrectal ultrasonography. Heard record was
also used for cross confirmation.
Results: The analysis of antioxidants in plasma and
hemolysates revealed that the levels of vitamin E, β-carotene and
reduced glutathione in plasma and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in
hemolysate were significantly higher in cyclic animals than PPA
animals. The levels of vitamin C, SOD and glutathione peroxidase
in plasma did not show any significant difference among the two
groups studied. The low antioxidant level in affected animals may
predispose them toward PPA condition.
Conclusion: Stress imposed by pregnancy and lactation affected
the reproductive performance in PPA animals which might be
inherently more susceptible to these stressors than those who were
normal cyclic as all the animals were maintained under similar
feeding and management practices.
Keywords: antioxidants, postpartum
anestrous, stress.
