The present study was conducted on 24 Pandharpuri female buffaloes maintained at College farm of KNP College of Veterinary Science, Shirwal. The Pandharpuri buffaloes were categorized into different groups according to age comprising 6 (six) animals in each group Viz. Group I: Buffalo calves (up to 6 months), Group II: Young growing buffalo calves (6 months to 12 months), Group III: Buffalo heifers (12 months to 30 months) and Group IV: Adult Buffalos (above 30 months). Blood samples were collected and analyzed for micro minerals by using AAS (Cu, Fe, Zn), ICP-AES (Mo). The present data reveals that, there was non significant increasing trend in concentration of serum copper and significant apparently increasing trend in concentration of serum iron among different age groups. There was no significance difference in concentration of serum zinc and serum molybdenum among different age groups with no consistent trend.
