Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The birds were usually dosed by gavage with solutions or suspensions of the test chemical in propylene glycol according to the methods described by DeCino et al. (1966), Schafer (1972) and Schafer et al. (1967).Other oral dosing methods were occasionally used (pellets, gelatin capsules), but are not noted in the tables (Schafer 1972).
