Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vanadium supplementation on the blood biochemical profile of growing Murrah buffalo calves. A total of 21 calves (6–12 months) were divided into three groups: control (T0), 4 mg/kg DM vanadium (T4), and 6 mg/kg DM vanadium (T6). The calves were fed a total mixed ration for 90 days, with blood samples taken every two weeks to measure parameters such as glucose, non-esterified fatty acids, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and alkaline phosphatase. The results showed no significant differences in any of these parameters across the three groups (P > 0.05). Therefore, vanadium supplementation at 4.0 and 6.0 mg/kg DM had no effect on the blood biochemical profile, indicating that it is safe for the metabolic health of Murrah buffalo calves.
