  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;1. The exponential removal of ICG from the plasma by the mallard duck liver made possible the measurement of fractional dye clearance (K), plasma volume (PV) and plasma clearance (PC).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Values obtained for K (14.9%/min), PV (39.2 ml/kg) and PC (5.8 ml/min per kg) agreed with those obtained by other techniques used in a number of species.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Sex did not affect the removal of ICG by the liver. However, increases in K, PV and PC were noted in hen mallards in laying condition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. The data should prove useful as baseline values for physiological and pathological studies on the avian liver&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
