In the present study effect of area specific mineral mixture on the serum enzymes viz. alanine transaminase (ALT); aspartate transaminase (AST) and alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), biochemical parameters viz. serum total protein, albumin, globulin and cholesterol concentration of cattle at three agro-climatic zones (plateau, plain and hills) of Chhattisgarh state were studied. Fifteen dairy cows in each zone were randomly distributed into three groups viz. negative control- natural grazing without mineral supplementation; control group - common mineral mixture supplemented @ 80 gm/day/animal along with natural grazing and treatment group- area specific mineral mixture (80 gm/day/animal) supplemented along with natural grazing. The serum albumin and cholesterol levels were non-significantly different among the groups except total protein, globulin, ALT and milk yield. The serum total protein values were significantly (p<0.05) higher in both the supplemented groups in all the agro-climatic zones, however value of globulin was significantly higher in plain zone, milk yield was significantly higher in plateau zone and ALP value was significantly (p<0.05) higher in plateau and plain zones with commercial and area specific mineral supplemented groups than negative control group. It may be concluded that the effect of commercial and area specific mineral mixture revealed similar effect on serum enzymes, biochemical parameters and milk yield.
