Abstract

The study was conducted on 5 adult clinically healthy Kachchhi camels (BW 450–550 kg) to assess the effect of different payloads (L1, L2 and L3), seasons (S1, S2 and S3) and work rest cycles (WR1 and WR2) on oxidative stress biomarkers (GPX, SOD and TBARS). The lowest level of GPX (Unit/g protein) was 4.74 ± 0.513 and 5.55 ± 0.510 during S3, while during S1 and S2 the values were 7.44 ± 0.473 and 8.02 ± 0.622 and 10.12 ± 0.677 and 11.10 ± 0.692 in WR1 and WR2, respectively. The SOD (Unit/g Hb) level increased at the rate of 9.87 and 8.46% (S1), 19.65 and 19.10% (S2), and 31.91and 14.03% (S3) in WR1 and WR2, respectively. TBARS level (nmol/ml) increased at the rate of 31.37 and 27.56% (S1), 70.04 and 77.69% (S2) and 52.42 and 59.45% (S3) in WR1 and WR2, respectively. The Kachchhi camel worked comfortably under WR1 as compared to WR2.
