In: Journal of Veterinary Medical Researches 2001.v.3(2)Summary: Serum samples were collected from 14 calves of different ages suffering from ano- rexia, loss of body weight, depressiDn, recumbency alopacia and diarrhea. Estimation of serum minerals revealed increase in calcium, phosphorus and zinc concentratiDn, as well as decreased levels of magnesium, sodium and potassium in serum while those of copper and iron were in the normal physiological value. Examination of ration samples revealed decrease in protein content and increase in calcium, phosphorus, and iron levels. While, magnesium, copper and zinc levels were adequate to cover requirement of calves. Also, acid number was high indicated oxidative rancidity of the ration. The mineral imbalance state of ration in additiDn to rancidity were suggested to be the real cause of the problem as the symptoms were subsided when the ration was replaced by a new one.
