PRE- AND POSTPARTUM BLOOD VALUES AND POSTPARTUM CELL CONTENT OF VAGINAL SMEARS OF FEMALE MOOSE AND DAIRY COWS
The postpartum period of female moose (Alces alces) and dairy cows was studied in the Komi Republic where short summers (2.5-3.5 months) and long winters (8.5-9.0 months) prevail. Cholesterol concentrations in blood of pregnant and postpartum female moose serum blood varied between 1.79-2.01 mmol/l....
