Objective: To compare two methods for the measurementdetermining of HDL cholesterol in Bos taurus cattle. Materials and Methods: Blood samples from 100 female cattle bovineof dairy breeds in the fasting state without discrimination of age were obtained. Serum extraction was obtained carried out to determine levels of HDL cholesterol by using the direct method and subsequently those same valuesHDL-cholesterol was determined were determined through by the precipitation method. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA single ANOVA. statistics analysis. Results: The direct method showed values inof 97.217, 66.200, 31.023 and 295.251 mg/dl for media, standard deviation, minimum and maximum were 97.217, 66.200, 31.023 and 295.251 respectively, and for the precipitation method reported values in mg/dl for media, standard deviation, minimum and maximum wereof 101.292, 33.588, 27.767 and 193.189 mg/dl for average, minimum, maximum and standard deviation respectively. The P value in test F >0.05, indicates that there is no statistically significant difference with a confidence level of 95%. Conclusion: Either one of the two methods analyzed for determining It is recommended to use any of the two analytical methods for determining HDL-cholesterol in cattle can be used.
