Biochemical signals of muscle stress in clinically healthy water buffalo calves fed on dam's milk

Understanding the biochemical pattern of serum enzyme of muscolar origin in conditions of traditional feeding is very important in order to avoid nutritional disorders in these species. Our research objective was to determine in buffalo calves: 1) if feeding with dam's milk is sufficient for requirements selenium and vitami E, 2) if in the absence of clinical symptoms there are alterations in serum concentrations of enzymes of muscular origin. It was determined that in buffalo calves fed only on material milk 19 the supply of selenium and vitamin E is insufficient, 2) serum concentrations of total AST, LDH and CK are elevated despite the absence of clinical symptoms of mucular stress. Our findings suggest that supplement of vitamin E and selenim is very important in buffalo calf feeding even if buffalo calves seem to face their deficiency much better than bonine calves.
