ABSTRACT

An experiment was conducted for 120 days on twenty Murrah buffalo heifers (24–30 months, 238.91±16.46 kg), divided into two groups of ten heifers in each. Both the  groups received same concentrate mixture (40% maize, 44% mustard cake 8% wheat bran, 5% arhar chuni, 2% mineral mixture and 1% common salt) with ad libitum wheat straw, while in concentrate mixture of treatment group, 0.2ppm of selenium was added. The blood samples were collected on day 0 and 120. Levels of serum total protein, blood urea nitrogen, cholesterol and creatinine were similar in the both groups. The level of globulin was higher (P
