Commercially available recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone effectively stimulates total and free thyroxine concentrations in Quaker parrots (Myopsitta monachus), including at low doses and after freezing
Thyrogen can be used at doses as low as 0.01 mL (73 µg/kg) for TSH stimulation tests in Quaker parrots and can be frozen in aliquots to perform more tests per vial.
