Comparative hematology: Studies on class aves, domestic turkey (meleagris gallopavo) [PDF]
This study compared turkey and human blood in various coagulation and cellular parameters. Turkey blood clotted slowly (± 60 minutes) in either glass or siliconized tubes and the formed clots retracted very slightly or not at all. Prothrombin times, using mammalian brain, were 12-14 seconds for human plasma and over 60 seconds for turkey plasma. On the
