The structure of genetic polymorphism of the blood and milk proteins and blood enzymes was studied. It was shown that in the Western region of Ukraine Black-and-White breed cattle had seven phenotypes of transferrin, one phenotype of hemoglobin, three phenotypes of amylase, five phenotypes of alkaline phosphatase, ceruloplasmine, beta-lactoglobuline, and alpha si-caseine, and three phenotypes of beta-caseine. The effects of homo- and heterozygous levels on the heifer growth, milk production and fertility of cows were found. Complex analysis of polymorphism of blood and milk ferments and proteins gives possibility to find a closer association of genetic tests with growth, milk production, and fertility of animals of Black-and-White breed.
