The study of Holstein-Friesian cattle conducted in the Department of Animal Husbandry [Philippines Univ. Los Banos, College, Laguna, Philippines] from Sep 1952 to Aug 1953, showed that the mean pulse rate of the dams was 71.3 plus or minus 0.66/min; the respiration rate, 50.8 plus or minus 1.43/min; the body temperature, 101.8 plus or minus 0.10 deg F; the hemoglobin index, 8.0 plus or minus 10 gm/100 ml; the leucocyte count, 8.535 plus or minus 0.430 thousand per ml, and the erythrocyte count, 4.993 plus or minus 0.244 million/ml. In the calves, the mean pulse rate was 81.6 plus or minus 0.97/min; the respiration rate, 52.8 plus or minus 1.62/min; the body temperature, 102.9 plus or minus 0.09 deg F; the hemoglobin index, 8.1 plus or minus 0.10; the leucocyte count, 9.668 plus or minus 0.398 thousand/ml; and the erythrocyte count, 6.600 plus or minus 0.287 million/ml. The respiration rate, body temperature, hemoglobin index and erythrocyte count of the dams, as well as the pulse rate, leucocyte count, and erythrocyte count of the calves varied with each month. The body temperature, respiration rate, pulse rate, and hemoglobin index were variable in the individual dams; the body temperatures, pulse rate, hemoglobin index were variable in the individual dams; the body temperature, pulse rate,hemoglobin index, and erythrocyte count also varied in the individual calves. The rate of respiration and the hemoglobin index of the dams were positively correlated with atmospheric temperature. Likewise, positive correlation was found between the body temperature of the dams and either humidity or rainfall. There was a negative correlation between the hemoglobin index of the dams and humidity. The respiration rate of calves was positively correlated with atmospheric temperature. Furthermore, the erythrocyte count of calves was positively correlated with humidity and rainfall. No significant difference was found between the hemoglobin content of the dam's blood and that of their calves. The mean corpuscular hemoglobin of the dams was 16.03 micro g; and that of the calves, 12.27 micro g
