Abstract
These studies were performed to obtain any basic data on patho-physiological investigation of serum protein in dairy cattle. Among dairy cattle kept in the suburbs of sapporo, Hokkaido, and regarded as healthy from clinical examination, 154 cows of the pure or hybrid Holstein breed and 10 Holstein bulls were selected for these purposes. The normal value of the serum protein level was determined in them by using a refracto-proteinometer of Hitachi model and paper electrophoresis. As a result, the following data were obtained.
Serum protein level in cows-total protein level 6.81±0.56 gidl, albumin: 41.7±5.8%, globulin: 58.3±5.3%, α-globulin: 13.9±2.5%, β-globulin: 10.7±1.9%, γ-globulin: 33.9±6.2%, and albumin /globulin: 0.71±0.18.
Serum protein level in buts-total protein level: 7.37g/di, albumin: 36.9±63.57%, globulin 63.1±63.57%, α-globulin: 11.2±12.11%, β-globulin: 13.3±4.11%, γ-globulin: 38.6±42.37%, and albumin/globulin: 0.58±0.043.
Discussion was also made by comparing these data with those described in other papers published.
