Abstract

Serum samples from five species of domestic animals were subjected to protein electrophoresis on commercially prepared agarose gel films. After processing, the stained electrophoretic patterns and densitometric traces exhibited certain characteristics for each species. The features which were considered distinctive of each species are illustrated.
