Summary Diets containing 264.6 ppm o,p′- or p,p′-DDT were fed to 6-week-old male and female turkeys for 7 and 15 weeks. Such chronic feeding of DDT did not cause alterations of: Blood pressure; gross structure of body tissues; histology of heart, aorta, liver, testes, oviduct, ovary, thyroid, or kidney; plasma cholesterol or calcium levels; albumin-globulin ratio; or plasma lipoprotein patterns. The residue of DDT in body fat was determined. Trace amounts were found in birds fed the control diet. Minute quantities of o,p′-DDT and large amounts of p,p′-DDT were found in fat of turkeys fed p,p′-DDT, and the converse was true of turkeys fed o,p′-DDT.
