| Abstract | ||||
| * On studying reflection of vitamin E and selenium maternal status of buffalo-dams on their calves, it was found that: l- Both serum and milk vitamin E. levels were significantly low in dams of Nutritional Muscular Dystrophy (NMD) naturally affected calves. Blood selenium levels were also significantly low in them and their affected calves. All when compared with those of untreated dams of normal calves and their calves. 2- While significant increase occurred in serum and milk vitamin E levels in E-selenium treated dams, selenium administration was accompanied with marked improvement in their milk but with severe drop in serum vitamin E levels. 3- Similar significant increase was observed in blood selenium levels in both selenium and E-selenium treated pregnant dams and their calves. | ||||
