This study was undertaken to express the effect of Vitamin E and C against the stress on the kids of Angora Goats that were exposed to stress by being deported from their mathers. In this study, 50 Angora goats kids of averoged 21 days age wre used, and study was maintained 42 days (until the age of 63 days). The kids of study were split into 5 groups, the group of control kids that were not deported Irom their mathers, the groups of (-) konlrol kids. Vitamin E, n Vitamin C and Vitamin E+C. The kidsof latter four groups were exposed to stress by being seperoted from their mather at the age of 21 days and they were alloved to suckle their mathers only 15 minotes per day. The biood samples of the kids in the groups were taken at the begining of the study and once at two weeks in the pollowing periods. The serum glicose and Cortisol parameters choosen as the parameters of stress were determined. The serum glicose titres were higher significantly (P<0.01) in the groups of (-) Kontrol, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin E+C than the group ol (+) Kontrol at the begining ol the study. However the dillerences between the glicose litres of the groups becomed statiscally nonsignilicant with the advanced periods of the study. The differences observed in the titres of serum Cortisol were not significant. The effects of supplamenting C and E vitamins on serum cortizol titres were not signilicant in kids exposed to stress. As a result, it can be thought that the conditions of leeding and management are more important than adding Vitamin C and E in the kids of Angora goats.
