| Abstract: Experimental induction of vitamin E and selenium deficiency by deficient diet was carried out on Awassi ewes and their newborn lambs to study the effect of the deficiency on serum levels of Creatine Kinase (CK) and Aspartate Aminotransferse (AST). Fourteen animals in the deficient group and 7 animals in the control group were used. Results showed increased Creatine Kinase (CK) levels reaching (2070.51 ± 22.22 U/L) and (2756.52 ± 20.79 U/L) in deficient groups of ewes and lambs respectively compared with control groups in which levels reached (211.07 ± 2.23 U/L) and (292.52 ± 1.20 U/L) respectively. Results showed increased Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) levels reaching (143.71± 4.28 U/L) and (145.40 ± 7.94 U/L) in deficient groups of ewes and lambs respectively compared with control groups in which levels reached (69.14 ± 2.78 U/L) and (72.85 ± 2.33 U/L) respectively. | ||
