Hemoglobulin levels of turkeys from 1 to 28 days of age.
Average circulating hemoglobin levels +/- standard deviations of male turkeys were 11.6 +/- 1.5 g, 8.8 +/- 1.6 g, and 10.4 +/- .8g/dl at 1,5, and 14 days of age, respectively. Hemoglobin levels remained relatively stable from 14 to 28 days of age. Although the changes in hemoglobin levels during the first 14 days after hatch were not statistically significant, the data are consistent with observations made by other researchers with chicks, geese, and quail.
