Abstract

A study was carried out to assess the influence of summer stress and effect of supplementation of vitamin E and selenium during different season on serum enzyme activities, i.e., aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in Hallikar cattle. In the control group, activities of AST, ALT and ALP were significantly (P<0.05) higher during the summer season compared to winter season and rainy season. Further, the activity of all the enzymes were significantly (P<0.05) reduced in supplemented group compared to control group during summer, winter and rainy season.
