Abstract
The level of several components of the blood serum of normal cows was compared with the serum of cows affected with wheat pasture poisoning. The data revealed a decrease in inorganic phosphate, total and diffusible calcium, magnesium, and the albumin-globulin ratio, while the total serum protein, globulin, and possibly the potassium levels increased in wheat pasture poisoning. The wide range of values observed in the cases suggests that the blood serum findings could be the result of the effect of wheat pasture poisoning rather than the cause.
