Effect of Centrifugal Force on Packed Cell Volume and Trapped Plasma in Avian Blood

Species and Sex Differences in the Percentage of Plasma Trapped in Packed Cell Volume Determinations on Avian Blood

“…This difference in TP between chicken and goose blood verifies the data previously reported (Hunsaker, 1969). This difference in TP between chicken and goose blood verifies the data previously reported (Hunsaker, 1969).…”

“…In addition the type and volume of anticoagulant, volume of radio-active marker added and duration of holding prior to centrifugation (Hunsaker, 1969) were the same for all samples. Since, however, a proportionate number of each sex and species were centrifuged simultaneously, difference in centrifugal force are not involved.…”

“…Iodinated human serum albumin (RISA-131), previously fractionated (Hunsaker, 1969), was added to each and duplicate samples pipetted into hematocrit tubes*. Iodinated human serum albumin (RISA-131), previously fractionated (Hunsaker, 1969), was added to each and duplicate samples pipetted into hematocrit tubes*.…”

“…Proc. Egg I N A previous report (Hunsaker, 1969) a significant species difference was observed between chickens and geese in the amount of plasma trapped (TP) in the centrifuged red cell mass (RCM) during packed cell volume (PCV) determinations. Nat.…”
