X-RAYS AND THE REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE IN RING-NECKED PHEASANTS

LEONARD B. CLARK 1 and GARDINER BUMP 1

1 Union College, Schenectady, New York, and New York State Department of Conservation

Pheasants given 50, 75, 225 and 425 r. of x-rays applied to the head region show disturbances in their reproductive cycle by decreased egg production decreased length of laying period, and possibly decreased viability of eggs laid, the amount of decrease being related to the amount of radiation. The rate of egg laying is decreased in the experimental animals but is not correlated with the dose of x-rays over the range studied.
