Abstract
Japanese quail received dietary lead at levels ranging from 1 to 1000 μg/g of feed from hatching through 12 weeks of age. Levels of lead which did not cause depressed growth rates, anemia, or any other overt signs of chronic plumbism caused a decrease in reproductive capacity in the females. This decrease in reproductive capacity appeared to be related to impaired calcium metabolism.
