[Toxicologic studies on irradiated feed in pigs].

Toxicological investigations in experimental animals given irradiated feed and studies on the possible transfer of toxic factors from this feed to the animal are reviewed. Irradiated feed did not affect reproduction of rats and pigs. Extensive toxicity studies in pigs continued over a sixteen-week period and rats (2 1/2 years) did not reveal any changes which were attributable to irradiation to the feed.
