Studies on Serum Chemical Values of Holstein Cows

Holstein 암소 혈청(血淸)의 화학성분(化學成分)에 관(關)하여

Thirty of healthy non-pregnant Holstein cows being raised in the vicinity of Daejeon, which had been delivered of calves 4 to 6 times since they were imported to Korea, were selected with the purpose of serum chemical analysis. Total protein, albumin, globulin, total cholesterol, urea nitrogen and glucose and A/G ratio were investigated. The results of present investigation were summarized as follows: 1. Ranges and mean values (with standard error) of total protein, albumin and globulin were 6.87~8.58g/100ml, $7.75{\pm}0.60g/100ml$; 2.6~3.5g/100ml(37.1~45.0%), $3.26{\pm}0.27g/100ml$(40.1%); and 3.78~5.48g/100ml(55.1~64.6%), $4.51{\pm}0.43g/100ml$(58.1%), respectively. 2. Range and mean value (with standard error) of A/G ratio were 0.52~0.86 and 0.73~0.093. 3. Range and mean value (with standard error) of glucose were 35~50mg/100ml and $45.2{\pm}9.1mg/100ml$. 4. Range and mean value(with standard error) of total cholesterol were 122~228mg/100ml and $194.6{\pm}11.1mg/100ml$. 5. Serum urea nitrogen showed that the range of 10.5~15.1mg/100ml and the mean value(with standard error) of $12.7{\pm}1.5mg/100ml$.
