Abstract. The aim of the present study was to evaluate dynamic changes in the concentration of albumin, and selected protein fractions with higher and lower molecular weight in comparison to albumin. The percentage of these fractions of the total blood plasma protein was also examined. The experiment was carried out on 7 calves during their first seven days of life. Additionally, changes with age of the albumin and high and low molecular weight protein concentration and percentage of the total blood plasma protein were also determined. During the first week of life mean albumin concentration in the blood plasma varied between 29.22–31.72 g · l–1. The percentage of these fractions of the total blood plasma protein decreased from 38.14 to 29.43%. The concentration of high molecular weight fraction rose (from 8.43 to 14.47 g · l–1). Average percentage of these proteins of the total protein varied between 10.71–13.22%. Both low molecular weight protein concentration (from 18.73 to 36.60 g · l–1) and their percentage of the total protein (from 24.10 to 31.64%) increased during the first four days of life.
