Résumé

In two separate experiments, blood samples from dermatophilosis infected and non-infected cattle were analyzed for their vitamin C content. In the first experiment using abattoir samples, streptothricosis infected animals showed significantly lower lever (P < 0.01) Of ascorbic acid in mg per 100 ml of plasma (0.56) than non-infected ones (1.11). In the second experiment using samples from live animals, a non- significant decrease in the concentration of Vitamin in C was also observed in infected (0.94) compared with non-infected animals (1.05)
