    Abstract: Fatty liver syndrome or hepatic lipidosis occurs when the 
  received energy by animal is lower than the consumed energy especially during 
  lactation. In this case, body fats will become lipolysis because of negative 
  balance of energy then flow to the liver so, inevitable troubles will appear 
  such as abomasums displacement, placenta remaining, post partum hypocalcaemia 
  and reduction of body immunization, etc. In this study, 96 heads of hybrid and 
  healthy dairy cattle of 3-5 years old with body score of 2 and 3 were used and 
  the blood and liver samples were obtained with the rate of 10 cc and 20 g, respectively 
  in order to investigate fatty liver syndrome. The amount of NEFA, glucose and 
  albumin in serum and the amount of liver cells TAG in liver samples were measured. 
  The results suggest that there is meaningful increase in serum NEFA (1082±432.88 
  &#956; Eq L&#8226;<SUP>1</SUP>) and liver TAG (7.73±1.68%) and meaningful decrease 
  in serum glucose (37.20±15.26 mg dL&#8226;<SUP>1</SUP>) in new-calved cattle 
  (p&lt;0.001). Also, serum albumin in new calved cattle and last months pregnant 
  cattle in which the NEFA serum and liver fat were in highest levels, sowed meaningful 
  decrease (p&lt;0.01).
