[Relation between biochemical components in the blood of cows of various strains and the daily milk yield].

During the evaluation of the biochemical components of the arterial and venous blood of cows before and after milking, an insignificantly higher content of ash was found in the blood of the cows of Black-Pied Lowland breed, as compared with the Slovak Pied breed. The difference in the activity of alkaline phosphatase was found to be significant: the higher alkaline phosphatase activity was recorded in the blood of the cows of Slovak Pied breed than in the cows of Black-Pied Lowland cattle of the same age and in the same stage of lactation. A positive relationship was found between the milk yield and albumin level in the blood of the dairy cows of Black-Pied Lowland cattle; in the same breed a negative relationship was found between venous blood before milking and the level of gamma-globulins.
