Abstract

The introduction of new species within the cattle sector has been growing and among the most representative animals in this sector is the ostrich (Struthio camellus). Although generating benefits, these activities are difficult to be deeply studied in terms of their physiology, pathology and clinics due to the speed they evolve. Many physiological parameters which are essential for the diagnosis of disturb and diseases are not available. Thus, the objective of this work was to outline the plasmatic protein electrophoresis profile of ostrich, as well as to identify differences among the fractions of these proteins among specific age groups. Blood samples of 72 ostriches were collected in different farms in Rio Grande do Sul. The samples were...
