Abstract :The aim of the study was to determine oxidative stress and sialic acid levels in cattle with hydatid cysts. In the study, 15 hydatid cyst infected and 15 healthy cattle were used. Total sialic acid (TSA), lipid-bound sialic acid (LBSA), protein-bound sialic acid (PBSA), nitric oxide (NO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were determined colorimetrically in the animals. It was determined that TSA, LBSA, NO, and MDA levels were increased in the cattle with hydatid cysts compared to the control group, while PBSA level increased but was statistically insignificant. In conclusion, it was concluded that oxidative stress occurs in the cattle infected with hydatid cyst and TSA can be used as an indicator in the diagnosis of the disease.
