Determination of Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) Serum Protein Concentrations by Refractometry and the Biuret Method

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of hand-held refractometer in determining serum protein concentrations in ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) as compared with the standard biuret method. The results indicated that serum protein values may be accurately determined in ring-necked pheasants with a hand-held refractometer.
