Comparative Toxicity of Two Different Pesticides on the Skin of Japanese quail (Cortunix Japonica)
Journal Title: World's Veterinary Journal - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The effect of pesticides spray and exposure on the skin was assessed in Japanese quails. Fifteen adult quails were randomly sorted in to 3 different groups of five birds each. Birds were exposed to Carbendazim (CBZ) and Lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) and observed daily for two weeks after which skin biopsies were taken. The findings suggest cutaneous reaction to these pesticides. Comparably, quails that had contact with CBZ showed more adverse reactions than quails that had contact with LCT. Exposure of wildlife over an extended period of time to pesticide may result in chronic poisoning due to dermal absorption.
