Abstract
Young and adult quail and pheasants were fed diets containing DDT. Chemical analysis of tissues indicated that quantities of DDT stored were not proportional to total amounts administered nor to duration of exposure, but were related to the severity of toxic symptoms. Concentration of the toxicant in breast muscle of birds dying of acute DDT poisoning was approximately 34 jug./ Gm.in adult quail and 22 jug./Gm.in adult pheasants.
