Buffaloes with a relatively low milk yield were injected intramuscularly with an iron dextran to rep < /strong>lenish its body stores. This treatment resulted in increased milk produc tion above controls (PL. 0.05 ) during the p < /strong>eriod of administration of iron and for about four months after cessation of treat ment. This was accomp < /strong>anied with a mild increa se in blood haemoglobin without alterations in the RBCS and WBCS counts. Haematocrit values were not also changed. Other blood constituents, namely total proteins and beta globulin and albumin: globulin ratio were not different from those of controls, Blood crea tinine increased slightly during the period of the drug then became similar to that of control buffaloes. No changes were observed in the alkaline reserve, total lipids and cholesterol levels in the blood serum as a result of injection of the iron preparation intramuscularly.
