| Abstract | Eighteen buffaloes selected from a private dairy farm of the Ludhiana region were divided into three groups of six animals each. The fi rst group served as healthy control, the second and third as treatment groups. Treatment was given on the 7th day of observation with injRedoxin 20 ml I/M s.i.d for 5 days in Group 2 and with inj Vetade 10 ml/500 kg b.wt. s.i.d. for 4 days in Group 3. Vitamin C and vitamin E levels were assayed on the 0th, 7th, 14th and 21st days of observation. In Group 1, the levels of vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium were 1.0795+-0.019 to 1.088+-0.025 mg/dl, 3.983+-0.064 to 3.946+-0.133 micro mol/l and 0.611+- 0.059 to 0.62 +-0.072 micro g/ml, respectively. Pre-treatment and posttreatment value values of vitamin C were 0.765+-0.128 to 0.924+-0.088 mg/dl and 1.0795+-0.019 to 1.088+-0.025 mg/dl, respectively. in Group 2, showing a signifi cant difference, i.e. a 28 percent increase in the level after treatment. Pre-treatment and posttreatment values of vitamin E ranged from 2.58+- 0.24 to 3.006+-0.434 micro mol/l and 3.983+-0.064 to 3.946+-0.133 micro mol/l, respectively, in Group 3, showing a signifi cant difference, i.e. a 41 percent increase in the level. Pre-treatment and posttreatment values of selenium ranged from 0.19+-0.062 to 0.245+-0.068 micro g/ml and 0.690+- 0.025 to 0.695+-0.031 micro g/ml, respectively, showing a 2.18 percent increase in the level. Eight animals out of the 12 were cured suggesting that antioxidant containing drugs can act as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of mastitis. |
