Abstract. Improving the domestic population of Hereford cattle carried out by intrabreeding methods widely using hetero-ecological mating system of parental pairs. These activities are conducted against the background of regular monitoring of the physiological state and adaptive qualities in resulting progeny. Analyzes of the morphological and biochemical composition of blood, as well as the state of the endocrine system were carried out as an integrated approach to the study of the features of metabolic processes in young Hereford cattle of different genetic groups. Three groups of Hereford bull-calves (n=7 heads) were formed to assess the interior parameters: I - representatives of the Ural type of Herefords, II - Canadian selection, III - American selection. The results of the studies indicate minor differences in hematological parameters and hormonal levels in bull-calves of different genetic groups. Intrabreed variability in morphological and biochemical composition of blood did not exceed the limits of physiological norm, which indicates the adaptive plasticity of Hereford breed.

Keywords: Hereford breed, bull-calves, morphological composition of blood, biochemical composition of blood, thyroid hormones, growth hormones, adaptive qualities, metabolism
