In using a syringe for bleeding from the heart or wing vein, difficulty is frequently encountered, particularly if the chicken struggles. An apparatus has been developed in this laboratory which offers certain advantages over the standard syringe when it is necessary to bleed large numbers of chickens. MATERIALS needle adapter (observation tube), 7 mm.×60 mm. latex tubing, ⅛″ bore two-hole, rubber stoppers, 2 (size 7) and 1 (size 00) suction bulb, 75 ml. bottles, 2 (600 ml.) syringe needles (19, 20, and 22 gauge, 1½″ long), (14 gauge, 2″ long) test tubes, 12 mm.×75 mm. and frosted for labeling air ejector, sink type. PROCEDURE For obtaining blood from either the wing or heart of chickens, the apparastus shown in the …
