Abstract: Total 18 apparently healthy Osmanabadi kids of either sex were randomly selected for the present research work. The kids of uniform body size and weight of age between 4 to 7 months were chosen for the project. They were divided into 3 groups viz (T₀), (T₁) and (T₂) with each group involving six kids. (T₀) was the control group while (T₁) and (T₂) were the treatment groups with different levels of silage feeding i.e. 15 & 25 % respectively. Total 5 ml of blood samples from these goats for estimation of biochemical parameters were collected in clot activator vacutainer plastic tubes. Serum was separated with the help of centrifuge machine and transferred to eppendorf tube. Analysis of serum samples for biochemical analysis like serum ALT, AST, Total protein, Albumin, Globulin and blood sugar were carried out on AGD2020 clinical chemistry analyzer. The mean ± S.E. concentration of serum ALT (IU/L) were found to be 21.83±0.567, 21.82±0.691 and 22.159±0.614 in (T₀), (T₁) and (T₂) respectively. The average serum AST/SGOT (IU/L) values in Osmanabadi kids in different levels of silage feeding viz. 0%, 15% and 25%. The mean ± S.E. concentration of serum total protein (gm/dl) is observed to be 6.99±0.13, 7.10±0.12 and 7.09±0.13 in (T₀), (T₁) and (T₂) group of animals respectively. The mean ± S.E. concentration of serum Albumin (gm/dl) is found to be 4.043±0.104, 4.103±0.104 and 4.107±0.122 in (T₀), (T₁) and (T₂) group of animals, respectively. The mean ± SE concentration of serum Globulin (gm/dl) seen to be 2.948±0.049, 3.001±0.059 and 2.992±0.036 inT₀, T₁ and T₂ group of animals respectively. The mean concentration of serum Glucose (mg/dl) are found to be 52.879±1.694, 53.979±1.491 and 51.783±2.102 in (T₀), (T₁) and (T₂) group of animals respectively. No significant effects of different levels of silage was seen on serum concentration of AST (IU/L) between the groups of animals and slight increasing trend of serum AST (IU/L) and blood sugar was found in (T₁) as compared to (T₀) and (T₂) group of Osmanabadi kids.
