- Abstract
The article discusses a study on serum protein electrophoresis in greater rhea or Rhea americana in Brazil. The importance of serum protein electrophoresis to the physiological conditions of the animal is emphasized. Among the fractions showed by the electrophoresis are albumin, alpha and gamma. International literature reportedly show the absence of established patterns of normality for serum proteins in greater rhea. Also noted is the importance of the combined analysis of total protein and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio.
