조류인 닭의 혈액을 PCV수치를 20%, 40% 및 60%로 임의로 변경시켜 자가혈장내에서 Westergren 방법에 의해 실온()과 저온()에서 적혈구 침강속도를 측정한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 닭에서 PCV수치가 작을수록 적혈구 침강속도는 증가되었다. 2. PCV수치를 변경시킨 닭의 혈액에서 반추수인 산양보다 적혈구 침강속도가 크게 나타났다. 3. PCV수치를 변경시킨 닭의 모든 혈액에서 시간경과에 따른 적혈구 침강속도는 직선상으로 나타났다. 4. PCV수치를 변경시킨 닭의 혈액에서 적혈구 침강속도는 저온에서 보다 실온에서 크게 나타났다.

Eight Korean native black goats were used, of blood was collected from the Jugular vein into heparinized tubes a week interval. The heparinized blood was centrifuged for separation to blood plasma and corpuscles. The hematocrit, per centage of blood that is red blood cells, was reschuffuled of 10 %, 20 %, 30 %, 40 % and 50 % using blood plasma, 0.9 % NaCl solution and 5.4 % dextrose solution. The sedimentation rates of red blood cell obtained at and are summarized as follows. 1) The sedimentation rates of red blood cell were more increased by lower PCV%, i.e. there was a reverse relationship between the sedimentation rates and PCV% at any condition of these experiments. 2) The RBC were sedimented the most quickly in the NaCl solution and slower in the plasma compare with the dextrose solution at the same PCV%. 3) There was no temperature effect on the sedimentation rates between the two groups of and (at PCV 20% and 10%), even though the temperature difference is .
