Abstract

The proteinograms of non-pregnant and pregnant cows were studied. Significant differences in total protein, albumin, globulin, -globulin and -globulin concentrations (P<0.01) between non-pregnant and pregnant cows during the eighth month of pregnancy were recorded. The differences in concentrations of -globulin and in the A:G ratio were not significant (P>0.05). The comparison of results recorded in the eighth and in the ninth months of pregnancy showed that the globulin, -globulin and -globulin concentration significantly decreased in the ninth month of pregnancy (P<0.01), the concentration of total serum protein also decreased significantly (P 0.01-0.05), albumin concentration (P>0.05) and A:G ratio (P>0.01) significantly increased, whereas in -globulin concentration the difference between the values recorded in the eighth and in the ninth months of pregnancy was not significant (P>0.05).
