Ten each of Tharparkar (zebu) and Karan Fries (crossbred) heifers were selected from NDRI herd, Karnal. Animals were maintained under standard managemental practices followed at the farm. Skin biopsies were aseptically collected from each animal during winter, spring and summer. ROS, GPx, GRx were determined by ELISA.
