Serum Colloid Reactions in the Liver Function Test on Cattle

Abstract

Fifty-seven cattle were examined by the serum colloid reactions and blood chemical tests. As a result, the correlation to A/G ratio was 0.75 for the zinc sulfate turbidity test (ZTT), 0.73 for Lugol reaction, 0.65 for Gros reaction, and 0.27 for TTT. The correlation to the albumin r2 fraction was significant at 1 % level for ZTT, Gros and Lugol reactions and at 5% level for TTT. Correlation was low between the results of the serum colloid reactions and those of chemical tests, except TP. It was suggested that TTT might be little available for the laboratory test of bovine serum.
