Abstract
Mineral profile of Assam Local Goat of Hills Zone have been studied during pre-puberal, puberal post-puberal and pregnancy. The level of macro minerals viz., Ca, P and Mg were significantly (P<0.05) higher in pregnant goat. The level of these three macro minerals were apparently higher in pre-puberal stages followed by puberal and post-puberal stages. Fe and Zn concentration was significantly (P <0.05) low in pre-puberal stages from the rest of the three groups. Significantly (P<0.05) high concentration of Cu was observed in pre-puberal and pregnant from puberal and post-puberal group. Mn and Mo concentration did not differ significantly among the groups.
