The electrophoretic pattern of serum proteins in normal animals.
Abstract: The normal electrophoretic pattern and values for total and differential serum proteins have been determined for 100 cattle, 70 horses, 15 dogs, and 24 rabbits. Comparative studies were also made on 10 pigs, 10 goats, 10 sheep and 15 domestic fowls. The mean total serum protein for normal cattle was 7·16 g.%. The individual protein fractions were: albumen 43·1; alpha-globulin 110; beta-globulin 12·0; gamma-globulin 33·9%.
The mean total serum protein for normal horses was 7·3 g.%. The individual protein fractions were: albumen 33·5; globulins: alpha-1 15·0, alpha-2 16·0, beta-globulin 15·5, gamma-globulins 20·0%.
The mean total serum protein for normal dogs was 6·64. g.%. The individual protein fractions were: albumen 53·8; globulins: alpha-1 4·4, alpha-2 8·9, beta-globulin 19·9, gamma-globulin 13·0%.
The mean total serum protein for normal rabbits was 5·9 g.%. The individual protein fractions were: albumen 62·0; globulins: alpha-1 6·2, alpha-2 10·4, beta-globulin 9·6, gamma-globulin 11·8%.

This research study provides a detailed account of the electrophoretic pattern and values for total and differential serum proteins in different species of normal animals including cattle, horses, dogs, rabbits, pigs, goats, sheep and domestic fowls.
Overview of the Study
- The research investigates the standard electrophoretic pattern and values for total proteins and different types of serum proteins in several species of animals.
- The animals studied were cattle, horses, dogs, rabbits, pigs, goats, sheep, and domestic fowls, with the majority of the subjects being cattle, horses, dogs, and rabbits.
- The protein divisions under consideration were albumin, alpha-globulin, beta-globulin, and gamma-globulin.
Results for Different Animals
- In cattle, the mean total serum protein was found to be 7·16 g%. The proportions of the individual protein fractions were: albumin 43·1%, alpha-globulin 110%, beta-globulin 12·0%, and gamma-globulin 33·9%.
- The mean total serum protein in horses was slightly higher at 7·3g%. The distribution of proteins was as follows: albumen 33·5%, alpha-1 globulins 15·0%, alpha-2 globulins 16·0%, beta-globulin 15·5%, and gamma-globulins 20·0%.
- The mean total serum protein dropped for dogs to 6·64 g% with the individual protein distribution being: albumen 53·8%, alpha-1 globulins 4·4%, alpha-2 globulins 8·9%, beta-globulin 19·9%, gamma-globulin 13·0%.
- For rabbits, the mean total serum protein was the lowest at 5·9 g% with albumin making up 62·0% of the protein, alpha-1 globulins 6·2%, alpha-2 globulins 10·4%, beta-globulin 9·6%, and gamma-globulin 11·8%.
Significance of the Study
- This study provides a standard reference for the electrophoretic pattern and total and differential serum protein values in these common animal species. This can be useful for veterinary diagnostics and pathology.
- The research can also help in developing a comparison framework for studies related to protein imbalances or disorders in animals.
- The comprehensive diversity of animals studied ensure that the results have broad applicability for different species and breeds.
