Abstract

In a variety of environmental conditions, this study was aimed at investigating the antioxidant profile in relation to hydration status in Tharparkar cows from Rajasthan's dry plains. 180 Tharparkar cows from private dairies in and around the Bikaner region of Rajasthan were examined and determined to be in good health. The blood samples were taken under controlled conditions in three different climatic conditions: mild (October–November), dry (May–June), and humid (July–August). Results from the dry-hot and humid-hot conditions were compared to those from the moderate conditions. Group A and group B cows were created based on their physiological states in each environment. All groups saw their highest levels of antioxidants such vitamins A and C and their highest erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the middle of the day, while the highest levels of packed cell volume were seen in the humid-hot conditions. Group A pregnant dry cows had significantly (p0.05) lower plasma vitamin A and vitamin C values compared to group A pregnant milch cows and non-pregnant milch cows in both environments. Multipara cows in group B had significantly lower mean values of plasma vitamin A and vitamin C than primipara cows in both environments (p≤0.05). Both the A group pregnant cows and the B group multipara animals had a considerably (p≤0.05) larger packed cell volume. On the basis of the study that oxidative stress and hydration state are absolutely affected by various environmental periods. Exploration led to the conclusion that environmental conditions and physiological states profoundly alter oxidative stress and hydration status. Physiologically, pregnant dry, and multipara cows were more susceptible to the effects of high humidity and temperatures.

Conclusion

On the basis of exploration it could be concluded that environmental ambiences and physiological stages affect the oxidative stress and hydration state utterly and these could be measured in terms of variation in biological markers and physiological parameters. Humid hot caused more stress and physiologically pregnant, dry and multipara cows were more affected than other animals.
