Serum electrolyte and protein levels in guinea fowls (Numida meleagris) and Nigerian fowls (Gallus domesticus).

The comparison of the content of electrolytes and proteins in the serum of guinea fowl and Nigerian fowl showed that the former had significantly higher values for sodium, potassium, and albumin. The Nigerian fowl on the other hand exhibited higher values for calcium, chloride, bicarbonate, inorganic phosphate, total proteins, and globulins, which were also significant.
