Abstract: al. 1981,Bhat etal. 1990). In the process ofadaptationthe changes inenvironment bring about changes in the blood constituentsand biochemical profile to sustain health and production(McDonald 1998).The knowledge of normal values of biochemicalconstituents ofdifferent animals are ofacademic as well asof practical importance for clinical and experimentalinterpretations. In the presentinvestigation, attemptwas madeto determine the influence of age on serum minerals andelectrolytes status in Marwari goat.Clinically healthy Marwari goats (30) were divided into3 age groups, viz. 0-1year (group 1), 1-2years (group 2)and above 2 years (group 3). The experiment was designedto evaluate 60 observations for each parameter in differentage groups. The samples were collectedduring morning hoursunder aseptic conditions directly into the autoclaved steriletest-tubesin duplicate; 2 sets of2 tubes were taken for eachanimal. Blood(10 ml) was takeninto sterileheparinizedtube(heparin was added
