Four generations of rats were fed diets containing 35% dry solids of control or irradiated carrots. Although the data have not been statistically analyzed, gross treatment variations are not apparent with respect to growth, breeding, longevity, or hematology. The histopathology on the first generation pork-fed animals has been completed and is reported in detail. The most common cause of death was chronic progressive nodular pneumonia. The tumor incidence was not concentrated in one treatment or of one type. (auth)
