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.

Tissue accumulation of DDT and its metabolites in the domestic fowl.

TL;DR: No clinical toxic effects or loss of condition were seen in any growing hen at any time during a feeding period of 15 weeks on diets containing 10, 50 and 250 p.p.m. of DDT, and no bird developed signs of poisoning during a subsequent partial-starvation period of 3 weeks.

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.
