Abstract
Summary
Blood volume determinations were performed on 42 ducks of various weights, using radioiodinated human serum albumin. The blood in ml per kg body weight in young ducks weighing 150-450 g is 107 + 2.34. For the intermediate group weighing 700-1100 g it is 102 + 1.79. In young adult birds weighing 1100-2000 g it is 86.3 + 1.58. Several supplementary procedures were carried out to test the propriety of this method in the duck.
