Abstract

The study was conducted on the blood cells of 10 guinea fowls. The erythrocytes had centrally placed elliptical, oval nuclei and homogeneous cytoplasm. Reticulocytes had a distinct ring of aggregated reticular material that encircled the nucleus. The electron microscopy revealed that the erythrocytes were elongated in shape with rounded ends and a well defined gap was present between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
