ResumoAN ASSOCIATION between increased blood pressure and aortic rupture in Breasted Bronze (BBB) turkeys has been suggested (Gibson and deGruchy 1955; Weiss and Sheahan, 1958; and Ringer and Rood, 1959). The latter authors reported that the blood pressures for BBB turkeys are higher than any known mammalian or avian pressures, and higher than the pressure of the Jersey Buff turkey (Weiss an d Sheahan, 1958). Ringer and Rood (1959) also reported that the BBB turkey exhibits a sexual difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and in pulse pressure following sexual maturity, the male being higher. This finding differs from the hemodynamic pattern reported by Weiss and Sheahan (1958) who found only pulse pressure differences in Jersey Buffs. The male BBB turkey also exhibits a great increase in blood pressure between eight to twenty weeks of age, the age during which aortic rupture occurs most frequently (Ringer and Rood, 1959…
