The aim of this study was to determine the changes in the serum albumin, alpha 1 (α1)-globulin, alpha 2 (α2)-globulin, beta (β)-globulin, gamma (γ)-globulin, and alpha-lipoprotein (high density lipoprotein-HDL), pre-beta-lipoprotein (very low density lipoprotein-VLDL) and beta-lipoprotein (low density lipoprotein-LDL) and total lipid fractions of the cows in dry period and various stages of lactation period. Fourty healthy, four years old, Holstein dairy cows were used as material. Ten of them were in dry period and the rest were in lactation period. Between the days 48-51, 147-161. and 180. and over of lactation period were accepted as first, second and third stage, respectively. There were 10 cows in each lactation stages. Serum protein and lipoprotein fractions were compared between the dry period, first, second and third stages of lactation period. While significant differences were determined for α1-globulin, β-globulin, γ-globulin, HDL, VLDL, LDL and total lipid levels, no significant differences were observed in albumin and α2-globulin between dry period, first, second, third stages of lactation period
