The protein composition of the follicular fluid of the cow has been investigated.

Paper electrophoresis showed that the protein components were qualitatively similar to those of blood serum, although there were some quantitative differences. Thus albumin levels are greater in follicular fluid than in serum, while ₂- and ₂-globulins are lower in the former. β-Lipoproteins are not detectable in the follicular fluid. The ratio between total proteins and some glycoproteins is similar in both fluids.

The significance of these results in relation to the origin of the follicular fluid is discussed.
