The Effects of Mineral Solution on Stress Parameters in the Transition Cows

18031

The aim of this study was to determined the effects of injectable mineral solution on the changes of oxidative stres parameters in the cows during transition period. In the study 20 pregnant Swiss-Brown late-pregnant cows were used. The cows were divided into 2 equal groups; in the experiment group one dose injectabl mineral solution were injected, but the control group was only injected with isotonic sodium chloride 3 weeks before the expected calving. The erythrocyte lipid peroxidation, plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), catalase (CAT), vitamin E and vitamin C levels were determined in all groups. Although the significant differences were determined in oxidative stres parameters such as malondialdehyde (MDA), GSHPx, CAT, vitamin E and vitamin C levels, the decreased level of MDA and increased levels of GSHPx and CAT suggested a declining tendency of oxidative stres in the experiment group. It was concluded that the injectabl mineral solution, especially involved selenium, copper, zinc and manganase that administered at the beginning of transition period could be effective in preventing the oxidative stress.
