    Abstract:
    The effects of 2,4,5-T on adult japanese quail have been studied. The herbicide was administered daily in oral dosages at level of 100 mg/kg per day for two weeks (five days a week). In these experimental conditions, this compound was moderately toxic, the rate of mortality was low. However, we noticed a significant reduction in food consumption, body weight and egg production. The physiological disturbances resulting from the toxicological treatment are reversible.
