Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4297846
Results are reported from observations during the 24th week of a long- term feeding experiment of irradiated chicken, beef, and jam to dogs to determine the wholesomeness of irradiated food stored six months at room temperature. Hematologic examinations showed normal values for all dogs. Results of urine analysis were normal for dogs on chicken or beef, while those on the jam diet showed glycosuria. No effects directly related to the toxicity of the irradiated foods were noted in any of the animals. (C.H.)
