Changes in the Serum Protein Fractions in Goats after Treatment of Natural Gastrointestinal Parasite Infections

Table 1

Differences in the relative concentrations of serum protein fractions (%) and albumin/globulin ratio (A/G) in goats before (BT) and after (AT) antiparasitic treatment (mean ± SD).
