摘要: An experiment was conducted to determine the calcium status of male and female (lactating non-lactating) grazing goats (Thalli breed) during summer winter seasons at a private goat farm in Punjab, Pakistan. The samples forage plants, soil, water, milk, blood, urine fecal matter animals were gathered fortnightly for two months each season estimation calcium. highest amount urine, blood plasma, milk feces 102±4.56, 135±4.98, 117±5.0 mg L -1 280± 4.56 kg , respectively. maximum amounts 530±0.21 124±2.65 found soil while minimum 54±0.54 canal water. It concluded that available concentrations through plants in-sufficient meet dietary requirements animals. is therefore, an emergent need supplementation either or feed will ultimately improve animal health by minimizing metabolic disorders.
