Abstract

The blood serum protein and electrolyte levels as well as the effects of age, sex and time of bleeding on these were investigated in a 2x2x2 factorial experiment using twenty four mature guinea fowls(Numedia melagris pallas). The results showed fiat the serum proteins and major electrolyte levels — sodium . (ppm), potassium. (ppm) calcium (mg/100 ml), magkesium (mg/100 ml) and phosphates mg/100ml) were res­pectively 2.45 ±0.04, 3231 56 ±107.52, 1301. 26 ±33.01, 14.16+0.0.54, 4.18+0.10 and 6.43 -_+_0.22. Sex, time of bleeding and some­times age and their interactions had signifi­cant effect on the levels of these parameters in blood, Correlations between these were also calculated.
