Seventy-five crossbred cows kept at the Livestock Experimental Station, Qadirabad, District Sahiwal were divided into three equal groups i.e. cyclic, non cyclic and endometritis. Blood samples were collected from all the experimental animals, serum was separated and stored at -20 degree C until assayed for glucose (g/dl), total protein (g/dl), urea (mg/dl) and cholesterol (mg/dl). The results revealed significantly (P less than 0.05) higher values of glucose (58.08 plus minus 2.59) and cholesterol (290.72 plus minus 15.95) in endometritis cows as compared to cyclic (50.72 plus minus 1.12, 199.12 plus minus 9.38) and non-cyclic cows (50.56 plus minus 1.12, 202.96 plus minus 14.84). Total protein level differed significantly (P less than 0.05) among cows of all the three groups, being highest in endometritis (19.16 plus minus 1.00), followed by non cyclic (15.23 plus minus 0.89) and lowest in cyclic (9.19 plus minus 0.45) cows. However, serum level of urea did not differ in cyclic (30.88 plus minus 2.42), non cyclic (33.80 plus minus 3.43) and endometritis (37.12 plus minus 3.45) animals, although highest value was recorded in endometritis animals.
