Abstract
This paper summarises current knowledge of the diagnostic value of avian plasma proteins and non‐protein nitrogen substances. Reference values for total protein, the albumin: globulin ratio, uric acid, creatinine, and urea for various avian species are presented. The importance of the albumin:globulin ratio and the urea:uric acid ratio is emphasised.Keywords
