Bovine ephemeral fever is an economically important viral disease of cattle and water buffalo. In this study, it was aimed to investigate oxidant-antioxidant status in cattle with ephemeral fever disease. A total of 32 Holsteins aged between 12 18 months kept under same care and feeding conditions were used. Activities of GPx, CAT and SOD and the levels of TAC, TOS, CP, SH and MDA were measured. Levels of CP and TAC were significantly (p<0, 05) higher in IG compared to HG. Levelsof SH and CPwere significantly (p<0, 05) lower and CAT activity were significantly (p<0, 05) higher in RG compared with IG. Levels of SH and activity of GPx and were significantly (p<0, 05) lower and CAT levels were significantly (p<0, 05) higher in RG compared with HG. The results or this experiment suggest a possible relationship between oxidant/antioxidant balance in favor of antioxidants in ephemeral fever in cattle.
