Fatty liver is one of the major metabolic disorders that in early lactation stage, almost in half of dairy cows that
were calved several times, causing a mild or extreme to be involved. The aim of the present study was to assess the
prevalence of fatty liver syndrome, with the evaluation of levels of serum NEFA, Glucose, triglycerides, and albumin
in the dairy cows of Kermanshah region. Dairy cows sampled in four groups based on pregnancy status of 1-8
months pregnant, 8-9 months pregnant, giving birth less than a month ago and they were divided into more than one
month before their delivery. Levels of serum NEFA, Glucose, triglycerides, and serum albumin were determined
spectrophotometrically. The results of the study showed highly significant differences among the groups in terms of
NEFA there and most of them are in cows that less than one month gone of their birth. Also, triglyceride and
glucose levels were significantly different between pregnant cows and not pregnant ones, but according to our
results the levels of the amount of albumin there was no significant difference between the four groups under the
study.
