Blood in a mixed waste stream

[ultma]

I need to know of possiable methods for the determination of the quanity of blood in a mixed waste stream (industrial waste from a meat food processing plant).

 

Ideas of the top of my head would be to measure Fe and TKN and find out the ratio of iron to nitrogen of the particular species that is contributaing the most blood

 

Does anyone know where I can get a protein seqence of hemeoglobin for particular species eg ovine, bovine

 

Would there be any other easier or better methods to do this say like some ort of immuno assay.

 

Your ideas and feed back will be very much appreciated.
