Abstract

Serum total proteins, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio, alkaline phosphatase (AP) aspartate transaminase (AST) alanine transaminase (ALT), cholesterol and total lipids were estimated in 23 multiparous Egyptian buffaloes aged 5-11 years from 60th     days prepartum to 90th day postpartum at 15 days intervals. Total proteins and globulin were high at 60th day prepartum, then decreased gradually until parturition (P< 0.05) but increased again after parturition with fluctuation until 90th day postpartum. Albumin was slightly fluctuated throughout the experimental period. Albumin/gbbulin ratio was low at 60th day prepartum, then increased prior parturition until 90th day postpartum. Concentration of AP was high at 60th day prepartum then decreased towards parturition, statistically non-significant. AST, ALT, cholesterol and total lipids decreased (P< 0.01) from 60 days prepartum until parturition where they increased (P<0.05). The same parameters did not differ between the two groups. However, buffaloes which exhibited estrus (group1) showed a tendency to higher 0levels for all parameters than buffaloes which did not exhibit estrus (group2).
