 INSTRUCTIONS FOB SENDING MATERIAL FOR EXAMINATION. 



Where it is desired to determine the nature of any condition causing losses 

 among turkeys, an examination will bo undertaken, provided suitable material is 

 supplied. It is preferable to have affected turkeys forwarded alive by express in 

 order that a thorough autopsy may be made. The express charges are paid by the 

 Biological Laboratory. When the condition has been found at autopsy the tissues 

 may be sent by mail, if properly packed and preserved. Tissues may be preserved in 

 fine alcohol or a solution of one part of formaldehyde to nine parts of water. After 

 an examination has been made, suggestions will be forwarded for the prevention of 

 further loss. Specimens sent should be addressed to the Biological Laboratory, 

 Ottawa, Canada. 



Information concerning the losses which have been experienced should be sent 

 with the material, in order that it may be properly identified. The name and address 

 should be written plainly in order that the result of the examination may be forwarded 

 to the sender with the least possible delay.
