Two experiments were conducted to examine the effect of oxytetracycline-supplemented diets on mortality of young endangered masked bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus ridgwayi). Inclusion of oxytetracycline at 200 g per ton in the feed for 6 weeks resulted in a marked, significant reduction in mortality of young masked bobwhite quail raised in captivity. Including the antibiotic in feed during the first week of life reduced mortality as effectively as feeding it for a longer period.
进行了两项实验，以检验添加土霉素的日粮对濒危物种小蒙面山齿鹑（Colinus virginianus ridgwayi）幼雏死亡率的影响。在饲料中每吨添加200克土霉素并持续6周，结果圈养的小蒙面山齿鹑幼雏死亡率显著大幅降低。在幼雏出生第一周就在饲料中添加抗生素，其降低死亡率的效果与喂养更长时间相同。
