Abstract
Liver-porphyrin levels were found to have increased during sub-acute l ead toxicosis. The presence of selenium or monensin in the diet of lea d-intoxicated birds resulted in a further increase of liver-porphyrin levels. The results of this study indicate the presence of an interact ion between lead and selenium or monensin in producing an increase in porphyrins in the liver tissue of broiler chickens.
