Proteins status

PROTEIN STATUS

  • Urea, albumin, total protein, PCV & Hb reflect the protein status
  • Globulin and total protein increase with age.
  • Albumin, urea decrease with increasing age.
  • Urea and Hb with PCV: Increase during summer.
  • Hb and PCV inversely related to current milk yield.
  • Low urea reflects low protein status
  • Albumin and Hb decrease reflects long standing low protein status
  • Albumin concentration related to conception rate.
