Metabolic and cellular profile testing in calves under feedlot conditions: protein fractions and lactate
American Journal of Veterinary Research
|May 1, 1978
Abstract:
Serum protein and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzyme values were determined for frozen serum samples from crossbred yearling feedlot cattle on feed for 56 days. The mean percentage values for serum protein components from 114 samples were: albumin, 46.5; alpha-globulin, 10.4; beta-globulin, 18.7; gamma-globulin, 23.8. For LDH isoenzymes, they were: LDH1, 36.5; LDH2, 24.7; LDH3, 16.9; LDH4, 12.0; LDH5, 9.1. These values are compared with values from dairy cattle.
