The buffaloes in different lactational and reproductive status were categorised in nine different groups comprising 12 animals each. Blood and milk samples were collected and analysed for the level of selenium using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy.The Selenium in blood and milk in different lactational and reproductive states of buffaloes were within normal physiological limits.Plasma Selenium levels were significantly different in lactation as well as reproductive states whereas milk Selenium was significantly different only in lactational state.
