Abstract

Present study reports the reference values of some important macro
minerals viz. calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), sodium
(Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl) and micro minerals viz. copper (Cu),
iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn) in Banni buffalo
(Bubalus bubalis). Further, it describes their variation due to age, sex and
different physiological stages viz. pregnancy, dry and lactation. It was
observed that the levels of Ca, Mg, P, K and Cl did not vary significantly
between male and female calves unlike sodium. The Ca and Cl were
apparently lower in lactating buffaloes than the dry ones. The variations
observed pertaining to all the macro minerals between lactating and dry
buffaloes were non-significant. The values of the micro minerals were
within the physiological range of healthy buffalo. The Cu and Zn
concentrations were found to be the lowest in pregnant buffaloes. Similarly, lower value of Mn and Co was recorded in calves irrespective of sex. Conversely, Fe
concentration was recorded to be the lowest during pregnancy. Nonetheless, data generated during the
study may be of use for physiological characterization of this unique buffalo breed of Gujarat.
Further, it may assist in monitoring the health and prognosis as well as diagnosis of deficiency
diseases.
