Abstract

Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphorus level were studied in bilateral adrenalectomized (BADX) goat to see the role of adrenal hormones in metabolism of those said minerals. Initially Ca level reduced significantly (P<0.01) and thereafter approaching towards normal value but overall decreasing trend was found. Magnesium had the similar trend like Ca but later stages increased in erratic fashion. Phosphorus initially decreased (P<0.01) but decreasing trend though erratic way was noticed at later stages.
