 ABSTRACT

Dystocia has been considered as a stressful condition that requires immediate attention of a veterinary practitioner because it put the animals in life threatening situation. Role of vitamins as antioxidants has been well documented in the literature. Serum b-carotene estimation following administration of vitamin C in dystocia affected buffaloes revealed that vitamin C administration has no effect on its circulating concentration.

Key words: Buffaloes, Dystocia, Caesarean section, Vitamin C and b-carotene.
