Sathya, S. Prabhakar, S. Sangha, S. Ghuman] The aim of the study was to evaluate oxidative stress around parturition in normally calved and dystocia-affected buffaloes and the clinical efficacy of vitamin E and selenium (Se) in reducing the effects in buffaloes suffering from dystocia. Plasma cortisol concentration, erythrocytic malondialdehyde (MDA) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were evaluated in dystocia-affected (supplemented (n = 8) and unsupplemented (n = 5) with vitamin E and Se) and normally calved (unsupplemented; n = 6) buffaloes. The decline in plasma cortisol concentration, MDA level and SOD activity was greater in the group of dystocia-affected buffaloes supplemented with vitamin E and Se (78.62 ± 2.7%, 13.38 ± 9.75% and 28.83 ± 7.72%, respectively) than in the unsupplemented group (54.33 ± 12.62%, 3.48 ± 4.16% and 17.69 ± 12.93%, respectively). These results suggests that supplementation with antioxidants like vitamin E and Se may be beneficial in reducing oxidative stress in dystocia-affected buffaloes in the immediate postpartum period.
