Dieldrin, Ca and P balance, and characteristics of the egg in the quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). 1978

M M Andujar, and G Varela, and M P Navarro

A study was made of the Ca and P balance, Ca and P content in the femur, physical characteristics of the egg, mineral structure of the shell, and the number of eggs in quails treated with dieldrin (20 mg/kg of diet) for 48 days. The diet contained 3.24% Ca and 0.72% P. The Ca and P balance, the bone contents of Ca and P and the calcemia in the males were not changed by the pesticide. In the females, the pesticide decreased the amount of excreted Ca and Ca in the egg, for which reason the coefficient of nutritive utilization (CNU), the coefficient of corporal retention (CCR), and the Ca level in the femur were greater in treated laying quails. The calcemia remained stable, and the balance of P was not significantly modified by the dieldrin. The study of weight, size, and strength of the egg did not reveal any influence of the dieldrin, and egg production fluctuated throughout the test period.

D010058 Oviposition The process of laying or shedding fully developed eggs (OVA) from the female body. The term is usually used for certain INSECTS or FISHES with an organ called ovipositor where eggs are stored or deposited before expulsion from the body. Larviposition,Larvipositions,Ovipositions
D010758 Phosphorus A non-metal element that has the atomic symbol P, atomic number 15, and atomic weight 31. It is an essential element that takes part in a broad variety of biochemical reactions. Black Phosphorus,Phosphorus-31,Red Phosphorus,White Phosphorus,Yellow Phosphorus,Phosphorus 31,Phosphorus, Black,Phosphorus, Red,Phosphorus, White,Phosphorus, Yellow
D011784 Quail Common name for two distinct groups of BIRDS in the order GALLIFORMES: the New World or American quails of the family Odontophoridae and the Old World quails in the genus COTURNIX, family Phasianidae. Quails
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
