Title :	Serum cholesterol concentration around parturition and in early lactation in dairy cows
Authors :	T.M. GUEORGUIEVA and I.P GUEORGUIEV.
Summary :	The concentration of serum cholesterol in association with milk yield, thyroid hormones and cortisol was measured in 6 high and 6 low yielding dairy cows. Serum cholesterol in both groups around parturition was significantly lower than in the later stages of lactation. There were no differences in cholesterol levels during the whole experimental period between the high and low yielding cows. Cholesterol correlated consistently negatively with thyroxine and triiodothyronine but was not closely related to, cortisol and milk yield.
Keywords :	serum- cholesterol - early lactation - dairy cows.
