Blood Volumes of Ducks Using Human Serum Albumin Labeled with Radioiodine

Abstract
Blood volume detns. were performed on 42 ducks of various wts., using radioiodinated human serum albumin. The blood in ml./ kg. body wt. 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.
