Abstract

A total of 370 blood samples were collected from slaughtered and living fertile and infertile buffalo-cows, buffalo heifers and native cattle heifers. SGOT, SGPT and SAP were determined in each sample. The obtained results showed that animals with completely inactive ovaries possessed a significantly (P / 0.05) higher SGOT and SGPT values than those with questionable activity or normally active ovaries (Estrus or Diestrus). In regard to SAP, the rev erse was true. However, non of the studied enzymes showed significant deviation dur ing the phases of the oestrus cycle.
