Abstract

The aim of this work was to investigate the peculiarities of placentation and characteristics of the fetus in relation to the presence or absence of ketonuria during pregnancy; the possible transfer of the ketone bodies from maternal into the fetal blood and the state of physiological maturity of the newborn with relation to the presence or absence of maternal ketonuria was also studied. The investigation was conducted on cows. The corpus luteum and placenta in cows with absence of ketonuria are characterized by normal development. The fetuses and newborn calves show signs of physiological maturity, i.e., specific features of their physiological functions correspond to their actual calendar age.
