dc.description.abstract Iron deficiency anemia is one of the leading public health issues being faced by the global population currently. The present research was an attempt to determine the synergistic effect of Galacto Oligosaccharides and iron fortificants on serum iron, serum ferritin, serum transferrin and total iron binding capacity in anemic rats. To serve the purpose, eight different types of fortified feed were prepared with varying concentrations of Iron Fortificants (NaFeEDTA and FeSO4) while the varying dosage of galacto oligosaccharides was dissolved separately in water to be fed to anemic rats. Afterwards, animal trials were conducted for twelve weeks to determine the efficacy of Galacto Oligosaccharides & iron fortificants based feed against the aforementioned parameters. The results of the study suggested that both serum iron and serum ferritin levels were significantly improved when anemic rats were fed with iron and Galacto Oligosaccharides fortified feed. It was also observed that the levels of serum transferrin and total iron binding capacity steadily decreased over the study duration. It can be concluded that Galacto Oligosaccharides helped enhance the absorption of iron in anemic rats, reflected by increase in serum iron and serum ferritin levels and decrease in serum transferrin and total iron binding capacity. en_US
