Concentration of 16 important blood constituents was studied in Jersey crossbred cows, to investigate their relationship with production diseases such as mastitis, metritis, retained placenta and ketosis. A significant (p0.05) increase in total protein level, significant (p0.05) drop in cholesterol level and highly significant increase (p0.01) in globuline content with hyperglobulinaemia were observed during mastitis. Cows infected with metritis showed significant (p0.05) changes for total protein, albumine, globulin, PCV and potassium and higher significant (p0.01) changes for cholesterol, haemoglobin and iron. Retained placenta condition exerted a highly significant (p0.01) influence on total protein, albumin, globulin, potassium, magnesium and iron levels and significant (p0.05) influence on cholesterol,haemoglobin and PCV contents. Ketosis condition had exerted highly significant (p0.01) influence on serum cholesterol level and significant effect on (p0.05) magnesium only.
