Metabolie profile test of dairy cattle in Al-Ishaqi plan A.M.H. Al- judi, H.K. Abood, M.N. Al –Siagh

Abstract

Metabolic profile test was done on Friesian cows of Al-Ishaqi plan. Blood
samples were collected from 21 cows in the second lactation stage, 7cows with
high Milk yield, 7cows with moderate milk yield& 7cows with low milk yield.
Estimation of the following were done; hemoglobin, packed cell volume blood
urea nitrogen glucose total protein albumin& globulin, in three periods (1month
after calving, 4month after calving, 7month after calving). The results revealed
that Hb, total protein& globulin ratios were increased, while the albumin ratio
was decreased in the first period, PCV increased in the third period, albumin
ratios showed higher levels in high milk yield cows, BUN show higher levels in
the first period, increased levels of BUN in high milk yield cows, low levels of
blood glucose in the second period.Signification correlation coefficient between
total protein ratios& Hb, globulin ratios& BUN were obtained, while significant
negative correlation between total protein& albumin was existed. Regression
equations between total protein ratios& all blood traits were calculated.
