Abstract
The correlation between the formol-gel reaction and the concentration of different serum proteins was investigated in 289 cattle with chiefly chronic diseases. A close correlation, though not linear, was found between the quantity of globulin and the time of gelification. A positive formol-gel reaction within 24 hrs. indicated an elevated globulin level in serum. Increasingly marked rises of globulin were observed with shorter gelification times. A negative formol-gel reaction after 24 hrs. showed that the globulin concentration was at normal level. The results are discussed in the light of the relevant literature. It is concluded that the formol-gel reaction is of diagnostic and prognostic value for clinical work within bovine medicine.
