Abstract

Oxidative stress indicates an imbalance between pro-oxidants and antioxidants  mechanisms of the body. The elevated production of stress level affects physiological  functions of female reproduction. Literatures pertaining to oxidative stress have  become an active area of research investigation now a day in livestock species  particularly in veterinary medicine in general and reproduction in particular.  This is because of the increased incidence of infertility problems in livestock and  perhaps will remain as emerging area of research in the coming decades. The  oxidative stress is surmised to have role in pathophysiology of female infertility.  From a clinical perspective, it is of utmost importance to have knowledge in  respect to impact of oxidative stress in bovine infertility. This review focuses on the  pathogenesis of various bovine reproductive disorders such as cystic condition,  endometritis, retained fetal membrane, embryonic mortality and repeat breeding  with respect to oxidative stress.
