Eighteen crossbred (Beetal x Assam Hill Goat) kids of 1 month of age were selected on the basis of their body weight and divided into three experimental groups of six animals each (group T1, T2 and T3) and were offered creep diets containing three different sources of vegetable protein viz, soybean meal, ground nut cake, and sesame oil cake respectively for two months. Blood sample was collected on day 0 and 60 of experiment from jugular vein to analyse different blood biochemical profile. Significantly lower (P<0.01) blood glucose level was observed in T2 groups fed with ground nut cake protein as compared to soybean meal (T1) and sesame oil cake meal (T3). No significant difference was observed in total serum protein, albumin and globulin level in all the experimental groups.
