Abstract Prochloraz (N-propyl-N-[2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy)ethyl]-1H-imidazole-1-carboxamide) is a new agricultural fungicide. When administered in the diet, it induced hepatic and intestinal cytochrome P-450 levels and monooxygenase activities from Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix), grey partridge (Perdix perdix), chicken (Gallus gallus), and pheasant (Phasianus colchicus). After administration of a single dose to quail, prochloraz acted biphasically,i.e. inhibited, then induced aniline hydroxylase activity. In close relation with this biphasic pattern, pentobarbital sleeping time and toxicity of the insecticide parathion were modified. Administration of prochloraz at various dose levels in the diet of quail did not influence fecundity, fertility, and development of progeny.
