Online Published on 20 April, 2022. Abstract The study was conducted to evaluate the serum mineral concentrations in anemic buffaloes. Mineral deficiency contributed to anemia in 72.41 percent of anemic buffaloes. Among the 72.41 percent mineral deficient buffaloes, single mineral deficiency was observed in 17.24 percent (20/116) while 55.20 percent (64/116) of anemic buffaloes exhibited multi mineral deficiency. Out of 116 anemic buffaloes, majority 67.24 percent (78/116) were deficient in Iron followed by Phosphorus in 64 (55.17%), Calcium in 48 (41.38%), Copper in 26 (22.41%) while 18.97 percent,18.10 percent and 15.51 percent of anemic buffaloes were deficient in Zinc, Magnesium and Cobalt, respectively.
