Status of Serum Minerals and Biochemical Parameters in Cattle of Organized Farms and Unorganised Farms of Western Uttar Pradesh

摘要

Study was conducted in parts of northern India having tropical climate with two prominent type of rearing and management system for cattle. Cattle that are reared and managed by farmers (group A) who rarely supplement mineral mixture in the ration and cattle of organized farms that are managed on good quality ration and supplemented with mineral mixture (group B). Study revealed significant (p 0.05) was found between groups. SAP, Cp was significantly (p 3 and T₄ in cattle of group A was lower than healthy cattle. However serum T₄ concentration was better indicator of such deficiencies. Status of serum retinol, α-tocopherol, B₁₂, SAP, Cp, T₃ and T₄ can be used as markers to evaluate status of serum minerals. Mineral supplementation results in better status of minerals in cattle but commercial available mixtures are not appropriate to fulfill the requirement of these cattle.
