Description The aim of the present study was to know the effect of supplementation of mineral mixture on mineral and biochemical profile of Punganur calves at Livestock Research Station, Palamaner. Twelve calves were selected and initial serum analysis was done to know the deficit minerals. Macro minerals viz., Ca, P, Mg, Na, K and Cl and micro minerals viz., Fe, Cu and Zn were assessed. The animals were found to be deficit in Ca and Zn. A mineral mixture was prepared accordingly and fed to them for 90 days. Serum mineral analysis showed a significant (p<0.01) increase in serum calcium and zinc levels whereas magnesium, sodium, potassium, chlorine, iron and copper levels remained unaffected (p>0.05) upon supplementation of mineral mixture. Biochemical analysis showed a significant (p<0.01) decrease in serum glucose, creatinine, SGPT and LDL-C levels and significant (p<0.01) increase in BUN, HDL-C, SOD and catalase (p<0.05). No significant effect was seen in the levels of total protein, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio, SGOT, triglycerides, cholesterol, VLDL-C and MDA upon supplementation of mineral mixture. Based on the overall results of the study, it was concluded that supplementation of deficit minerals in the form of mineral mixture has positive effect on mineral, biochemical and health status of Punganur calves.
