VITAMIN C MODERATES THE OXIDATIVE STRESS OF BUBALINE PEDICULOSIS IN INDIAN WATER BUFFALOES

The aim of the present study was to investigate the oxidative pathobiology of bubaline pediculosis and its alleviation through the commonly used two antioxidants as an supportive therapy (N- acetyl cysteine and vitamin C). Twenty four Indian dairy buffaloes with severe bubaline pediculosis were allo[r]
