LONG-TERM DOG AND RAT FEEDING EXPERIMENT EMPLOYING IRRADIATED MILK AND BEEF STEW (C-RATION). Progress Report No. 8, September 15, 1960 to March 15, 1961

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4841118
Studies were carried out to determine the chronic toxicity to dogs and rats of irradiated beef stew (C-Ration) and evaporated milk. No toxic effects as reflected in longevity, focd consumption, growth, reproduction, or hematological data were observed. Dogs fed irradiated diets fared better in these experiments than dogs on control diets, but the difference was not considered significant. (M.C.G.)
