Protein status of holshtinized black and white cattle

Abstract

We studied protein metabolism in Holsteinized black-and-white cattle. The researches were conducted in the Kuzbass at OJC «Vaganovo». Blood sample was taken from each cow, according to generally accepted of methods and analyzed in the laboratory of biochemistry from Novosibirsk State Agrarian University by using standard kits of biochemical studies on a biochemical semiautomatic analyzer Photometer 5010 V5 +. The indicators of protein metabolism were established in the blood serum of Holsteinized black-and-white cattle in average values; creatinine was characterized by the lowest phenotypic variability. The greatest positive relationship was found between albumin/globulin coefficients and albumin (r = 0.765). The reference intervals were calculated for cows of the 3rd lactation of the Holsteinized black-and-white breed with a high level of milk productivity (9-10 thousand kg): total protein 62.02-87.58 g / l; albumin 21.05-36.09 g / l; urea 2.2-4 mmol / l; creatinine 50-71 μmol / l; albumin-globulin coefficients 0.35-1.16. The data obtained can be used for assess the interior of animals.
