Tmm. Coenen et al., HEMATOLOGY AND SERUM BIOCHEMISTRY OF JAPANESE-QUAIL FED DIETARY TRI-N-BUTYLTIN OXIDE DURING REPRODUCTION, Archives of environmental contamination and toxicology, 26(2), 1994, pp. 227-233
During a subchronic toxicity and reproduction study with tri-n-butylti
n oxide (TBTO) concentrations of 0, 24, 60, and 150 mg/kg diet in Japa
nese quail, preliminary data on hematology and serum biochemistry were
obtained. The absence of serious effects in blood parameters in both
adult quail and developing chicks are discussed in view of the adverse
effects of TBTO on reproduction.
