| Abstract | ||||
| This investigation was carried out on a total twelve calves. Eight buffalo calves 9-12 months of age were isolated showing severe respiratory distress, while four animals (appar ently healthy) served as control. Horizontal zone electrophoresis on agarose slide was adopted as a mean of indirect diagno sis and interpreting the significance of the serum protein fractions found in such cases. Marked hypoalbuminaemia was evident in all the eight cases examined. In some cases obvious rise in the alpha globulins specially the alpha-2 (27.2%), and in others obvious decrease in the alp < /strong>ha globulin fractions. Most of the cases examined showed marked rise in the gamma globulin fractions. | ||||
