Comparative albumin determinations in ducks, chickens, and turkeys by electrophoretic and dye-binding methods.

Abstract

Serum total protein, albumin, and globulin concentrations in male ducks, turkeys, and chickens were compared, using electrophoretic and dye-binding methods, as well as using a bovine and chicken albumin standard. When a chicken standard was used for determination of albumin and globulin concentrations by automated methods, results were more comparable with results of electrophoresis than were those when a bovine standard was used.
