Figures & data

Figure 1. Graphical abstract.

Figure 2. The influence of late gestation vitamin E and selenium injection on different enzyme activities such as SOD [A] Catalase [B] and POD [C] in colostrum. Results are expressed as Mean value ± Standard error along with data points having different letters are significantly different at P<0.01.
