Abstract

The study includes certain blood Biochemical constituents in the three groups of Marathwadi buffaloes Group 1: First lactation (10 animals), Group 2: Second lactation (10 animals) and Group 3: Third lactation (10 animals). The blood glucose was significantly higher during third lactation as compared to first and second stages of lactation. During first lactation significantly higher total protein concentration was observed than that of second and third lactation.
