Hi,I'm having trouble calculating the total oxygen carrying capacity of blood.  We're using sheep blood.

I know that the equation is

Total gram Hb in blood = blood volume (in 100ml) x hemoglobin concentration (g/100ml of blood)

Total O2 = total grams Hb in blood x 1.34ml O2/g Hb

Average sheep weight is 125lb = > ~56.81 k
