The present study was undertaken to determine the baseline values of some important enzymes in clinically healthy lactating Kutchi camel during different stages of lactation. The study was carried out on 30 clinically healthy female camels of 8-10 years old with 500kg body weight from the herd maintained at Camel breeding farm, Dhori (Kutch) and categorized broadly into three groups comprising ten animals in each group: animals in early lactation in Group-I, in mid-lactation in Group-II and in late lactation in Group-III. The blood samples were collected from each experimental animal and analyzed for serum enzyme profilet hrough spectrophotometric method. Level of AST, ALT, ALP, GGT, amylase and lipase were significantly (p < 0.05) decreased from early lactation to late lactation. However, non-significant (p > 0.05) alteration in serum CK and LDH were observed during different stages of lactation. These data may be useful as reference value for Kutchi camel.
