This study aimed to compare BCS status with some plasma concentrations of major substrates (urea, albumin, total cholesterol, glucose) and minerals (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium) according to parity number and stage of lactation. This study was conducted on 135 Montbeliard cows raised in northeastern Algeria under a semi-arid climate. Among the independent indices evaluated, a significant effect of the physiological stage was observed on urea, glucose, total cholesterol, magnesium and phosphorus. Results revealed that dairy cows developed hyperglycemia and hypo-uremia throughout the lactation and dry period. Hypo-minerals were recorded during the dry period. Our data indicated the need for metabolic profile monitoring in dairy cattle based on their physiological status for providing animal welfare and to manage and prevent the deficiencies typical of high producing Montbeliard cows.
