Abstract

Blood serum globulins of female donkeys (Equus asinus L.) were separated electrophoreticalty by cellulose acetate (CAF), and their values determined before and during several pregnancy periods and post-partum. The relative values of the alpha-globulin decreased linearly along pregnancy, increasing again post-partum; the absolute values did not differ statistically. The relative values of the beta-globulin osculated around a mean value lower than recorded before pregnancy; the absolute values were not statistically different. The relative values of the gama-globulin decreased linearly along pregnancy and just after parturition; the absolute values at the studied periods were also statistically different, although did not vary linearity.
