Calves during the suckling period have serious attention and induce immense bearing on
early maturity and production. This work aimed to scrutinize the affections of garlic oil
supplements on antioxidants, oxidative stress, and immune response in suckling buffalo
calves. To achieve this aim we used twenty suckling buffalo calves, and divided them
into two groups. The first group (n=10) did not receive any supplement, and the second
group (n=10) received garlic oil as a supplement 5 mL/calf/day orally for 7 days. Whole
blood and serum samples were collected on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th day of supplement
from all calves. Our data showed that the supplemented garlic oil significantly increase
lysated blood and serum SOD, CAT, GSH, and TAC levels, while a gradual decrease in
MDA and non-significant changes in NO as indicators of oxidative stress, associated
with a significant increase in serum vitamins A and E, selenium, iron, and zinc. Total
protein, albumin, globulin, γ1, γ2, α1, α2 were gradually and significantly increased
in comparison with the non-supplemented control group. In conclusion, garlic oil
supplement have promotives effects on enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant
system, immunity, nutrient utilization required for immunity modulation and regulation
in calves.
