Abstract

The serum calcium. inorganic phosphorus, copper, zinc. iron and maganese were estimated in 22 repeat
breeder and 12 normal cyclic crossbred cows. Repeat breeder cows had significantly lower inorganic P (4.729±0.150
mg; I 00 ml), Cu (0.96±0.017 μg, ml) and Zn ( 1.80±0.033 μg/ml) than normal cyclic cows where the levels were
5.513±0.265 mg/ I 00 ml, 0.97±0.023 μg/ml and 2.09±0.057 μg/ml , respectively. Higher serum iorn level was found in
the repeat breeders (3.594±0.043 μg,1ml) than normal cyclic cows (3.424±0.053 μg/ml). No significant variation
however. was found in Ca and Mn between the groups.
