heamoglobin content in animal is 33% of fresh weight of RBCs. The haemoglobin content in human is 12-14 gram percent or per 100ml of blood. Hb has mol. wt. 68000 and reflects quarternary str. of protein. formed of 5% haeme and 95% globin.

∙ 12y agoHaemoglobin is a respiratory pigment used to transport oxygen in the blood of all vertebrates (animals with a backbone).
However the haem group can change between different species. It is fairly uniform in composition between mammals and humans.
In some vertebrates and invertebrates there are 2,3 or even 10 different forms that permit a species to to maintain oxygen transport in different conditions.
Other respiratory pigments exist instead of haemoglobin in other animal groups:
- Haemocyanin - second most common respiratory pigment found in arthropods and molluscs. When oxygenated it is blue and not red like haemoglobin.
- Haemerythrins - found in annelids, sipunculans, priapulids & brachiopods. It's pink in colour.
- Chlorocruorins - occurs in 4 families of marine annelid worms. It's green in colour. Very similar structure to haemoglobin.

What are the nutrient content of the tawa-tawa?
increase hemoglobin
Is hemoglobin content same in calves males and females?
Not usually no.
What allows hemoglobin content?
Basically hemoglobin is intended for oxygen transport from lungs to brain, muscle and whole body as needed...
Would the hemoglobin content be higher or lower if the red blood cellls weren't completely hemolyzed?
If you mean the hemoglobin content of the plasma...it would be lower if the RBCs weren't completely broken down.
Is hemoglobin content different in calves male and female animals?
Yes!
A deficiency in this element can be expected to reduce the hemoglobin content of blood?
Iron

haemoglobin is a pigment that makes the blood looks red.
Is hemoglobin content for humans same in children and adults?
no its not same in children and adults
What is the advantage of hemoglobin having high histidine content?
because it has low buffering capacity

Is the hemoglobin content different in calves male and female animals?
Hemoglobin content levels vary from location to location. Calves that live in a higher elevation may have a higher hemoglobin content than calves that live in a lower elevation. Also, male calves tend to have a higher hemoglobin content than females, and differences in breed also provide variances. However each slight is slight to the point where it can be considered insignificant. According to the journal article below (Clinical and Hematological Studies on Experimentally Induced Selenosis in Crossbred cow calves), the normal hemoglobin content of calves is around 11.92 g/dl. According to the second journal article below (The Hemoglobin Content of the Blood of Dairy Cattle), the average normal hemoglobin content of calves per 100 cc of blood, regardless of sex or breeding, is 10.46 grams. It is useful to note the key differences of Hb between breeds and between areas where each dairy herd was studied.
What is the difference between the range of hemoglobin levels in cow and calves?
Hemoglobin content in cows tends to be slightly higher than in calves, but this varies with each individual cow and calf.. Also, changes in elevation will also affect hemoglobin content in cattle. Differences in breeds is also another factor to consider. However each factor is slight to the point where it can be considered insignificant. According to the scientific journal article entitled The Hemoglobin Content of the Blood of Dairy Cattle (see link below), regardless of breed, the average normal hemoglobin content of cows per 100 cc of blood is 10.94 grams. The average for calves is slightly less, of 10.46 grams. However, calves hemoglobin content can be lower, sometimes down to ~8 grams per 100 cc of blood (see second link below).
