The objective of the present investigation was to study the effect of guar meal on the blood parameter and cost structure of Buffalo calves during experimental period (90 days). In the present investigation a total 11 buffalo calves for T₀ treatment 3 calves, T₁ treatment 4 calves and T₂ treatment 4 calves. The selected experimental buffalo calves were grouped in 3 groups viz; T₀ (Average age: 5 month and weight: 83.70 kg), T₁ (Average age: 6 month and weight: 84.11 kg) and T₂ (Average age: 5 month and weight: 83.18 kg), respectively. Treatment T₀ contain zero percent guar meal whereas T₁ and T₂ contains 10% and 20% guar meal respectively. Analysis carried out by Complete Randomized Design (Unequal Replications). Haematobiochemical parameters viz, total protein and serum albumin of calves of treatment T₂ and T₁ shows superior significant over control treatment T₀. Haemoglobin was significantly higher in treatment T₀ compared to the treatment T₂ and treatment T₁. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) observed in serum globulin, RBC count and WBC count of experimental groups. The cost of feeding treatment T₀ has highest cost per kg live weight gain and T₂ has low cost per kg live weight.
