BookPublisher: 2009Subject(s): Department of Clinical Medicine & SurgeryDDC classification: 1056,T Dissertation note: To determine the levels of calcium and phosphorus in buffalo calves of district Kasur 100 blood samples were collected. In addition to blood samples, fodder and soil samples were also collected from same areas. For blood samples buffalo calves were divided in to group A from 0-6 months of age and B from 6-12 months of age. Fifty samples were collected from each group. The mean plasma calcium values in group A of buffalo calves were higher than the group B of buffalo claves in district Kasur. On the other hand phosphorus levels observed were higher in group B. Soil calcium levels showed variation in different areas and were found highest in Khudian Khass and lowest in Khara areas of district Kasur. Whereas soil phosphorus values were observed highest in Khara and Shams Pura. Feedstuffs, dry roughages and concentrates showed great variation in both the minerals. Calcium was found higher in rapeseed and barseem fodders in Khara and Chak 45 areas and in dry roughages was higher in Amer Kot region and was found highest in rice straw. Calcium was higher in cotton seed cake concentrates in Khudian Khas. On the other hand phosphorus levels were found higher in rapeseed fodder. In dry roughages the phosphorus levels were higher in Khara whereas phosphorus values were highest in sugarcane tops.
In concentrates the phosphorus values were higher in Shams Pura of district Kasur and maximum phosphorus values were in wheat bran. Soil samples were collected from each location sampled for fodder and processed according to method described by Singh. The calcium levels in soil of different areas of Kasur were highest in Khudian Khas and other areas have little variation in soil calcium. The phosphorus values of soil were found highest in Khara and Shams Pura but over all there is mineral variation among the areas for phosphorus levels. It is concluded that the levels of calcium and phosphorus in blood serum are entirely dependant on feed source and the levels in ration are dependant on the mineral levels of soil from where obtained.
