TLDR
Hematological studies on chickens have long been hampered by the lack of a quick, readily applicable, and quantitative method for the enumeration of the leucocytes due to the fact that the nuclei of bird erythrocytes are not destroyed in the usual procedure for mammalian blood cell enumeration and therefore cannot be distinguished from theLeucocytes.

The functions of the thymus system and the bursa system in the chicken

TL;DR: The bursa of Fabricius and the thymus are "central lymphoid organs" in the chicken, essential to the ontogenetic development of adaptive immunity in that species, and surgical removal of one or both of these organs has permitted recognition of two morphologically distinct cell systems in the "peripheral lymphoid tissues" of the spleen, gut, and other organs.

Relationship Between Protein Nutritional Status and Immunocompetence in Northern Bobwhite Chicks

TL;DR: Results indicated that four-week-old Northern Bobwhite chicks fed an 8% protein diet for three weeks may have difficulty expressing a competent immune response to pathogenic challenge in the wild.
Journal ArticleDOI

Model of physiological stress in chickens 1. Response parameters.

TL;DR: This model is the first to show in a single experiment all the major adaptive stress responses of chickens, as well as relative weights of the major immunobiological organs, which were decreased and increased due to lipid and moisture accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hematology and plasma chemistry reference intervals for cultured tilapia (Oreochromis hybrid).

TL;DR: Differences were noted in plasma protein, calcium and phosphorus concentrations, such that reference intervals for high-density production tilapia were not applicable to fish raised under different environmental and management conditions.

Blood and bone marrow cells of the domestic fowl

TL;DR: Twenty-nine complete, morphological studies of the blood of eleven domestic fowls are recorded and the supravital technique, using neutral red and Janus green, enables one to separate and classify accurately the confusing cells of theBlood and bone marrow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leukemia of the Common Fowl

TL;DR: In the case of the rabbit and guineapig, the animals most frequently used in experimental work, there exist at present no observations of the occurrence of leukemia, and the literature is likewise devoid of any statements concerning its occurrence in birds and fowls.

A Note on the Osmotic Pressure of the Blood of Various Animals.

TL;DR: The osmotic pressures have been measured, using the vapour-pressure method, of the blood of six animals and two birds, sheep, goat, horse, cattle, dog, tortoise, pigeon, hen.

A Direct Method for Making Total White Blood Counts on Avian Blood.

TL;DR: During the course of a standardization of the blood of fowls, undertaken as a part of a series of studies upon acid fast infections in various species of animals, it was found that no direct method existed for making total white blood counts upon avian blood and various indirect methods based upon the ratio of red blood cells to white cells in the same smear were devised for making estimations of the total white cell counts of the bird.
