ABSTRACT

As vitamins and minerals had significant effects on growth, reproduction, yield

and the immune systems of animals, present study is conducted to research

the impact of Minosel oral tablets, a combination of vitamins and minerals, on

certain blood parameters of goat kids raised under poor nutrition and maintenance

conditions. The experiment was conducted in 20 kids of both sexs of 3-10 days

of age having 2-5 kg of body weight and they were raised under poor nutritional

and management conditions in Van. After the systematic clinical examinations of

ill grown animals, blood samples from each animal Were collected before and

after the administration of oral tablets for analysis of certain blood biochemical

parameters viz. glucose, total protein, urea, ALP, ALT, AST, LDH, calcium,

and vitamins A, D and E. Minosel oral tablets (Teknovet, Turkey) were orally

administered to ill-grown animals. Vitamin D and vitamin E levels were found to

be statistically significant (P<0.05) while other blood parameters were statistically

insignificant (P>0.05). As a result, applying Minosel oral tablets prophylactically

to newborn kids may cause some vitamin and mineral deficiencies; in order to

repair the destruction of some tissues and organs, supplemental treatments may be

needed in addition to these vitamins and minerals.
