The values and dynamics of some indices of protein metabolism were studied in domestic bird Gallus gallus domesticus infected with cestodes Railletina echinobothrida, (Magnin, 1881) in natural population and in experiment. These indices were compared in infected and non- infected birds. Cestode infection considerably affected hosts protein metabolism irrespective of the age; however the chances were more pronounced in younger ones. Increased concentration of _-globulin, modified albumin and circulating immune complexes was observed in plasma of infected host. The experiment demonstrated the most significant changes in the protein metabolism of Gallus gallus domesticus 4- 8 days after infestation with cestodes Railletina echinobothrida (Magnin, 1881).
