Abstract
Ten numbers of growing swamp buffalo calves were selected irrespective of sex anddivided into two groups comprising 5 animals in each. About 5 ml of blood was collected
from each of the experimental animal both in the morning and in the afternoon at 15 days
intervals during the period between March and August. Hormone T3, T4 and cortisol were
estimated from serum by Radio-Immuno Assay . The mean values of Triiodothyronine,
Thyroxine and Cortisol ranged from 1.00 ± 0.28 to 1.08 ± 0.30, 44.20 ± 1.20 to 46.30 ± 1.20
and 60.26 ± 1.36 to 62.75 ± 1.07 nmol/l respectively. Present study revealed that serum T3
were below normal in both the groups. Serum T4 levels were found within the normal value.
However, serum cortisol levels were found to be higher than the normal value in both the
groups during pre-monsoon and monsoon periods.
