ABSTRACT

The study was conducted on male and female Jaffarabadi buffaloes (total 132) of various ages and physiological stages (lactating and non-lactating) maintained under standard feeding and managemental conditions followed at the Cattle Breeding Farm, Junagadh Agricultural University, Gujarat, to understand the variation in total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol levels. Age significantly (P < 0.05) affected the plasma total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels in all the groups under study. Significant   (P < 0.05) differences were also observed between the females and males at 1 week and 6 month age for total cholesterol and at 1 week, 1 month and 6 month age for HDL-cholesterol levels. Significant (P < 0.05) difference existed between different months of lactation for plasma total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol. The levels of both the parameters were not significantly higher in pregnant than in non-pregnant Jaffarabadi buffaloes.
