The aim of this study is to establish metabolic profile in cows in lactation and in the peripartal period under conditions of unadequate nutrition. Thirteen biochemical parameters were measured: glucosa, total proteine, bilirubine, cholesterol, urea, uric acid, triglycerides, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, carotene and aspartate and alanine aminotranspherase activity (AST and ALT) in blood serum of lactating cows (n=10), cows before calving (n=10) and cows after parturition (n=10). It can be concluded that results of metabolic profiles analysis indicate that under investigated conditions of cattle breeding there are damages to the functional status of the liver, in the advanced pregnancy and in the puerperium these changes are most often of the dystrophic nature.
