Abstract
Plasma electrolyte, protein and metabolite concentrations were determined i n White Fulani cattle kept under intensive and extensive systems of managem ent in Nigeria. The total protein and albumin values were significantly hig her (p<0.02 and p>0.05, respectively) under the intensive management system s. The plasma bicarbonate, calcium, inorganic phosphate, potassium, sodium, globulin, creatinine and urea values were similar under both systems of ma nagement.
