The aim of the present study to investigate effects
of the Malathion on hematological of quail (Coturnix
coturnix). Quail were treated orally with ¼
LD50 (25mg /kg B.W.) of Malathion for 28
days. Malathion decreased the body weight
significantly at the end of experimental. There were
statistically significantly decreased in hemoglobin
content (Hb), red blood cells (RBC), hematocrit (Hct)
and increased the number of white blood cells (WBC)
in Malathion treated- quail as compared to control.
These result suggest that the affects of Malathion
are does dependent.
