Examinations of 908 blood serum samples of pheasants were carried out in order to estimate the total protein content and 544 serum samples were tested due to estimation of protein fractions by means of electrophoretic separation. Great variations were found in all tested groups. During hatch the serum protein level was low and increased with advancing age. The percentage of albumines decreased with advancing age but the total level was relatively constant. Alpha-, beta- and gammaglobulines increased steadily from the first day of life up to the age of one year. While the beta globulines still increased up to two years the gamma-globulines dropped somewhat. The diagnostic use of the estimation of protein level in pheasants is meaningful only as a complementary procedure with other diagnostic measurements.

D001798	Blood Proteins	Proteins that are present in blood serum, including SERUM ALBUMIN; BLOOD COAGULATION FACTORS; and many other types of proteins.

D005719	gamma-Globulins	Serum globulins that migrate to the gamma region (most positively charged) upon ELECTROPHORESIS. At one time, gamma-globulins came to be used as a synonym for immunoglobulins since most immunoglobulins are gamma globulins and conversely most gamma globulins are immunoglobulins. But since some immunoglobulins exhibit an alpha or beta electrophoretic mobility, that usage is in decline.	gamma-Globulin,gamma Globulin,gamma Globulins
D000375	Aging	The gradual irreversible changes in structure and function of an organism that occur as a result of the passage of time.	Senescence,Aging, Biological,Biological Aging
D000510	Alpha-Globulins	Serum proteins that have the most rapid migration during ELECTROPHORESIS. This subgroup of globulins is divided into faster and slower alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-globulins.	Alpha-Globulin,Alpha Globulin,Alpha Globulins
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
