The total ATPase activity of erythrocytes of broiler chickens depends on the concentration of ions Na+ and K+. The ATPase activity at 76.5% due to magnesium ions, 96.5% of the sodium ions and 47,6% of potassium ions. Maximum ATPase activity was observed in incubation medium containing ions: Na+ 120 mmol/ml, K+ 20 mmol/ml; Mg2+ - 3.0 mmol/ml and was of 9,24 ±0,23 nmol •mg protein-1•min-1. The ATPase activity has no effect of the specific inhibitor – strophanthin-K in the concentration range of 0-100 mg•l-1 in the medium containing ions Na+ and K+, and in an environment without them.The total ATPase activity of erythrocytes of broiler chickens depends on the concentration of ions Na + and K
