Twenty Sahiwal female calves having age groups of 7 to 12 months and between 80 to 111 kg body weights were randomly allotted into four groups of five animals in each, viz., T1 (basal diet), T2 (basal diet with RPM 5 g/d), T3 (basal diet with RPL 15 g/d) and T4 (basal diet with RPM 5 g plus RPL 15 g/d) on the basis of age and their body weight for 90 days to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of rumen protected methionine (RPM) and rumen protected lysine (RPL) individually and in combination on haematological and blood biochemical profile. The results revealed no significant difference in haematological parameters. Supplementation of rumen protected amino acid did not affect level of glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, triglycerides and total cholesterol, however significant differences were observed in Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) (P≤0.01) and creatinine (P≤0.05) levels in T4 as compared to other treatment groups.
