TLDR
Young and adult quail and pheasants were fed diets containing DDT and chemical analysis of tissues indicated that quantities of DDT stored were not proportional to total amounts administered nor to duration of exposure, but were related to the severity of toxic symptoms.
Abstract
Young and adult quail and pheasants were fed diets containing DDT.Chemical analysis of tissues indicated that quantities of DDT stored were not proportional to total amounts administered nor to duration of exposure, but were related to the severity of toxic symptoms.Concentration of the toxicant in breast muscle of birds dying of acute DDT poisoning was approximately 34 jug./ Gm.in adult quail and 22 jug./Gm.in adult pheasants.

The metabolism in vivo of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT), 1,1-dichloro-2, 2-BIS(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDD) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDT) in the chick by embryonic injection and dietary ingestion

TL;DR: No teratogenic effect was detected either in chicks or in dead embryos and no significant differences in the pattern of metabolites between the two treatments were observed.

2,2-BIS (p-CHLOROPHENYL)-1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE (DDT) IN THE TISSUES OF THE RAT FOLLOWING ORAL INGESTION FOR PERIODS OF SIX MONTHS TO TWO YEARS

TL;DR: With the exception of muscle, it was indicated that the DDT of other tissues could be explained by their fat content, and the concentration ofDDT in fatty tissue was found to be correlated with the level of DDT in the diet in the range of 100 to 800 p.m.
