Abstract

It is important to measure selected biochemical parameters in the body fluids to estimate the energy status and relate it with metabolic disorders, milk production and infertility. In 10 cows (F1 Holstein x Cebu) on grazing conditions with mineral and molasses supplementation, samplings were done during the following periods: 2-3 weeks prepartum, 3 weeks, 2, 3, 4 and 7 months postpartum. In each period physical examinations of animals, milk yield and body condition were registered.
