 Summary. This study is an attempt to assess the boundaries of reference intervals of chemical elements in wool of highly productive dairy cows (for example, the Holstein breed) bred in the East European (Russian) plain. Wool samples were taken from clinically healthy Holstein cows after the first (n=50; age–2.3±0.4 years; adjusted 1% milk yield 137.9±3.8 kg/day), second (n=98; age – 3.2±0.5 years; adjusted 1% milk yield – 189.0±15.0 kg/day) and third (n=50; age – 4.3±0.4 years; adjusted 1% milk yield – 221,0±8.8 kg/day) lactations. Stage of lactation is 30-60 days after calving. Wool samples were subjected to multielement analysis (Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, I, Li, Mn, Ni, Se, Si, V, Zn, B, V, Al, As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Sn, Sr) by methods atomic emission and mass spectroscopy with inductively coupled argon plasma. A comparative analysis of the chemical composition of wool did not reveal significant differences between the animals of the first, second and third lactations in main essential elements. The cows of the first lactation were characterized by a reliably low (P≤0.05) concentration of Pb in wool in relation to the cows of the third lactation and a higher level (P≤0.05) of Hg in comparison with the cows of the second lactation. Due to the fact that average values ​​of concentrations of main essential and toxic elements in wool of cows of various lactations did not significantly differ, and the revealed difference in the content of lead and mercury did not have a stable trend depending on the studied parameter in all three groups, reference intervals were calculated for all animals disregarding separation by lactations. It is concluded that the data obtained can be used as reference intervals assessing the elemental status of highly productive dairy cows.

Key words: cows, Holstein breed, elemental status, wool (hair), reference intervals.
