This study investigated the impact of the transition period on the blood metabolic profile of Purnathadi buffaloes in Vidarbha’s tropical climate. Blood samples were taken from nine pregnant buffaloes 21 days before parturition, at parturition, and 21 days after parturition. Triglycerides, albumin, globulin, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, calcium, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, total leukocyte count, eosinophils, basophils and monocytes were non- significantly affected. However, non-esterified fatty acids, total cholesterol, glucose, total protein, phosphorus, total erythrocyte count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, neutrophils and lymphocytes were significantly affected during transition period. Elevated triglyceride levels indicated increased fat mobilization for fetal development and postpartum recovery. The study highlights the metabolic stress during this period, offering insights for improved management practices to support buffalo health and productivity.
