Eighty, one day old Japanese quail chicks were used in this experiment.They were randomly distiributed in four groups. each including 20 chicks. The chicks in group !(control).ll, lll and IV were fed control ration. the ration containing 1, 0,1 and 0.01 % seaweed extract, respectively untilthey reached 5 weeks of age. The animars were offered the rations and the water ad libitum.At 1 st, 2 nd and 3rd weeks of age, 5 chicks of each group were randomly slaughtered for blood withdrawal from each chicks. Atthe and of the first week, the erythrocyte count, hemoglobine amount, haematocrit value, plasma glucose andtotal protein levels in group ll fed ration caontaining %1 seaweed extract were fo und higher than other groupsaltough it was no differences among all groups (P>0.05). At the termination of the fifth week, erythocyte count,hemoglobine amount and haemotocrit value in group ll were determined signifacantly higher than group 1 andIV (P<0.05). At that time the plasma glucose and total protein levels were found obviously higher in group ll ascompared to other groups and plasma glucose level in group ll was significantly different than group 1 and IV(P<0.05) During the whole experiment, it was not dtermined striking changes in respect to leucocyte types, ıeucocyteand trombocyte counts in all groups.
