DYNAMICS OF SOME BASIC BLOOD INDICES IN GUINEA FOWL (N. MELEAGRIS) DEPENDING ON THE EGG LAYING PERIOD
A monitoring study of some main blood parameters of a flock of free-range guinea fowls has been conducted. The following results (depending on sex and laying intensity) have been established: hemoglobin content – between 145.8 (males - before peak of laying intensity) and 98 g/L (females - before th...

| Summary: | A monitoring study of some main blood parameters of a flock of free-range guinea fowls has been conducted. The following results (depending on sex and laying intensity) have been established: hemoglobin content – between 145.8 (males - before peak of laying intensity) and 98 g/L (females - before the peak of laying intensity), hematocrit – between 43.8 (males – before the peak of laying intensity) and 28.8% (females – before the peak of laying intensity), glucose – between 11.7 (males – before the peak of laying intensity) and 8.24 mmol/L (females – end of the laying period) and total protein content – between 5.86 (females – during the peak of laying intensity) and 3.30 g/dL (males - during the peak of laying intensity). |
