Materials for studying disparate scientific data, performing studies and developing the criteria for evaluating the health status of cattle have been presented. The efficiency of the integrated approach to solving the problem has been shown. It has been found that metabolic diseases cause the most economic damage to livestock. Based on this fact, countries with developed cattle breeding pay increasing attention to the development and improvement of the methodological, organizational and methodical bases of metabolism monitoring, especially during the most hectic periods of the physiological cycle. In the Russian Federation, their methodological basis includes clinical examination, creating biologically full-fledged and high-quality forage base, bringing the animals keeping conditions closer to the natural ones, and laboratory study of the indicators of blood, urine, and milk as intermediate indicators of metabolism and of its conformity to the level and the nature of animal productivity. Among animal health criteria, one should consider the state of the immune system, which due to its sensitivity, may act as an indicator of the effect of various anthropogenic factors and ecological state on the organism.
