Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the impact of dietary supplementation of Moringa leaf meal on blood biochemical in Gir calves. A total of 20 Gir calves with similar body weight of either sex at 4-6 months age selected and randomly assigned in four experimental groups with five animals in each group. Experiment was continued up to 120 days. Moringa leaf meal replacing crude protein requirement were 75% (T₂), 50% (T₃) and 25% (T₄) by the concentrate mixture, respectively. Analysis of variance did not reveal statistically significant (p?0.05) for blood biochemical parameter viz., total protein (g/dl), albumin (g/dl), globulin (g/dl), ALT (IU/L), AST (IU/L) among all the groups and found within the normal physiological range throughout the experimental period. Overall mean serum cholesterol was significantly (p<0.05) lower in supplemented group than control group, while triglyceride was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T₃ group than control group. There was significantly (p<0.05) lower in T₂ than control group.
