Abstract

Bullocks of breeds Gaolao, non-descript and buffalo of 6–7 years of age were made to work on Tread Mill Machine with particular speed and weight for three hours. Haemoglobin, glucose, alkaline phophatase and creatinine level in blood showed increasing trend in all the three breeds used. The increase in level of these components was minimum in Gaolao and maximum in buffalo bullocks. These results indicated that the Gaolao bullocks are better suitable for draft purpose.
