The validity of the ladder approximation (LA) in QCD and QED in the context of the corresponding Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equations and Slavnov-Taylor (ST) and Ward-Takahashi (WT) identities is investigated. In contrast to QED, in QCD bacause of color degrees of freedom the summation of the ladder diagrams within the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) integral equation for the quark-gluon vertex at zero momentum transfer on account of the corresponding ST identity does provide an an addition constraint on the quark SD equation itself. Moreover, the solution of the constraint equation requires the full quark propagator should be almost trivial (free-type) one, i. e. there is nontrivial quark propagator in the LA in QCD. This triviality results in the fact that the standard LA ignores the self-interaction between gluons caused by color charges (non-Abelian character of QCD).
