ABSTRACT

A study was conducted on 16 crossbred calves during spring (Feb–Mar) and summer (July) on
crossbred calves aged 15 days. Body weights were recorded at fortnightly intervals till 120 days
of age. Approximately 10.0 ml blood was collected from each calf in the mid experimental period
in chilled glass vials kept in ice-salt mixture. Blood sera were analyzed for glucose, serum glutamic
pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), serum glutamic oxaloacetic transminase (SGOT) and alkaline
phosphatase. Growth rate was significantly (P
