Abstract
Aim:
To monitor the effect of nutrition and pregnancy on oxidative
status of animals under the arid condition of South Sinai.
Materials and Methods:
Blood samples were taken from two groups of animals: The first
group retained in farm and fed on concentrate (high diet) and
another group grazing natural forage (low diet). Each group was
subdivided into pregnant and non-pregnant animals. Blood samples
were assayed for their content of malondialdehyde (MDA), total
antioxidant capacity (TAC), catalase (CAT), and superoxide
dismutase (SOD) enzymes.
Results:
MDA level significantly increased in pregnant animals fed either
concentrate or grazing low-quality forage and accompanied by a
low level of TAC in pregnant grazing animals fed low-quality
forage. The activity of CAT decreased in pregnant fed either
concentrate or grazing and SOD significant decrease in the
pregnant grazing group. These data suggested that the animals
might have experienced some degree of oxidative stress and lipid
peroxidation and indicating that redox homeostasis was impaired
in those pregnant and specially fed on forage rations.
Conclusion:
Pregnancy constituted the most oxidative stress facing the
grazing and concentrated diet feed sheep and goats under arid
and saline conditions of Southern Sinai, Egypt.
Keywords:
nutrition, oxidant⁄antioxidant, pregnancy, sheep and goats.
