Feeding of two levels of extracted rice bran (ERB) along with wheat straw was
studied in 6 adult crossbred cattle. After 121 days feeding of restricted - ERB
the first phase of blood sample was collected from all the animals. Subsequently
the animals were shifted to ad lib. feeding of ERB and the second phase
of blood sample was collected after 42 days. The blood samples were analysed for
biochemical constituents like haemoglobin, glucose, protein, albumin, globulin,
inorganic phosphorus, AST (GOT), ALT(GPT), ACP, ALP, cholesterol, creatinine and
urea nitrogen. The mean values of the blood biochemical constituents in the same
order were 11.10±0.17 and 10.41±0.16 g/100ml., 56.99±0.48 and 62.70±0.97 mg/100ml.,
7.20±0.10 and 7.80±0.20g/100ml., 2.63±0.07 and 2.07±0.06g/100ml., 4.52±0.15 and
5.65±0.23g/100ml., 5.81±0.08 and 7.02±0.07 mg/100ml., 52.02±1.93 and 59.38±1.23
i.u., 20.63±0.61 and 27.99±1.34 i.u., 40.80±4.61 and 56.53±5.67 i.u., 8.03±0.72
and 11.78±0.77 i.u., 94.04±2.36 and 79.24±1.59mg/100ml., 2.00±0.17 and 1.00±0.03
mg/100ml., and 15.02±0.67 and 33.14±0.67mg/100ml. for restricted - and ad lib.-ERB
fed animals respectively. All the mean values were differed significantly due
to level of bran feeding.]]>
