Abstract
Summary High levels of dienestrol dia-cetate in the feed of turkeys (512, 526, 1024 mg/lb) caused aortic ruptures and decreased weight gains, while a low level (256 mg/lb of feed) caused no mortality and increased weight gains. Comparable mortality, hyper-lipemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hypotension resulted from the feeding of 16 gm diethylstilbestrol/100 lb and 512 or 1024 mg dienestrol diacetate per pound of feed.
