 ABSTRACT

Harsh environments create stressful conditions to animals raised in extreme climatic areas, and as a result, animals develop various adaptive mechanisms that enable them to survive under conditions of extreme heat or extreme cold. The present study entitled, “The effect of Meteorological Variables on Oxidative Stress in Black Bengal Goat” was conducted on twelve adult apparently healthy Black Bengal Goats. The does were investigated for their antioxidant’s profiles during autumn (Oct to Nov) and winter (Dec to Jan) seasons. Meteorological parameters like dry bulb temperature and relative humidity were recorded daily for two times at 6 am and 3 pm for estimation of THI throughout the study period. In the present study, the mean THI found during autumn and winter season was 70.45±0.60 and 57.58±0.91 respectively while the mean THI for last one years was 72.09±0.38 during autumn and 62.14±0.28 during winter season. All the antioxidants that studied (SOD, LPO and GPx) showed significant (p<0.05) variations during autumn and winter season. The SOD (IU/ml), LPO (nmol of MDA/ml of packed cells) level was observed to be higher during winter season than the autumn season whereas GPx (IU/ml) level was found lower during winter. Thus, the SOD and LPO was inversely proportional to THI and GPx was directly proportional to the THI. The study revealed that some of the parameters studied were visibly drifted from normal values as a result of climate stress during winter season. The results also highlighted drastic variations in the values of some of the antioxidants in animals. The information obtained is useful in understanding the adaptive physiology of the Black Bengal goats during environmental stress. The data generated may also help to distinguish and discriminate healthy animals from stressed ones under special physiological status of goats.
