In autumn, winter and spring, 24 (i) high-yielding ( more than 5000 kg milk in 305-day lactation) and 24 (ii) low-yielding (<less or =>3000 kg milk) Slovakian Pied cows were each divided into 4 groups of 6 according to phase of reproductive cycle (4-6 wk post partum, 3 or 7 months pregnant or infertile), and blood serum contents of inorganic P, lipid P, protein P, RNA P and total P were determined. All cows were in the 4th-6th lactations.
