Serum copper and zinc levels of sheep (n=40) In an organised farm were analysed for different categories like male, young female, pregnant, recently lambed and non-pregnant. In all the groups serum concentration of both the elements were 98.33±1.97 and 208.40±2.29; 102.28±1.04 and 193.73±1.15; 120.28±1.93 and 187.82±2.08; 114.87±0.85 and 204.51±1,49 and 111.97±1.12 and 204.37±1.40 respectively which is on the higher side of the normal standard values.
