title: Factors in the accumulation of dieldrin in broiler organs: quantity ingested, sex and weight of animal.
abstract: The effect of several factors in relation to the quantities of dieldrin accumulated in different organs of broilers was studied. Feedstuff was contaminated at doses of 60, 90, 120, 200 and 240 ppm. With the doses used, the results show an accumulation summit over which the amounts accumulated are not affected by greater quantities of dieldrin ingested. The accumulation of dieldrin in the female is greater than in the male and the weight of the animal does not significantly affect the response.
