The growth response of 2nd generation female rats was observed to be different among the three levels of irradiated coleslaw and between replicates; however, no significant differences were observed in the growth response of males fed irradiated chicken stew and coleslaw. Weekly food consumption and weekly feed efficencies covering the growth period showed essentially little difference between the control and irradiated groups when these values were calculated for the entire growth period. Except for a significantly lower weaning weight of young from the irradiated groups of the 2nd reproduction and lactation of 2nd generation animals from either the control group or irradiated groups. Hematologic examinations cf parent generation rats have shown so far essentially the same pattern as regard blood values for the control and irradiated groups. After 80 experimental weeks there appeared to be no marked differences in longevity of parent generation rats fed either irradiated or non-irradiated chicken stew and coleslaw. (auth)
