Inorganic elements play an important role in the physiology of parasites. These are intimately related with growth, maintenance of acid-base equilibrium and synthesis of organic material. In present study seven inorganic elements viz. Ca , Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd was determined quantitatively in immature , mature and gravid proglottids of Moniezia expansa by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Quantitative analysis revealed that Ca and Mg content were higher than Fe. Cu and Pb were very low.
