The addition of 100 p.p.m. of vanadium to a ration for White Leghorn laying hens caused a significant increase (p less than 0.01) in the egg shell thickness, but did not cause any significant change in the production, egg weight or egg ypok cholesterol content. The addition of 300 p.p.m. of vanadium caused a severe depression in the egg production which was the only symptom of vanadium toxicity to be observed. The addition of 50, 100, 200 or 300 p.p.m. vanadium to the ration of laying coturnix did not cause any significant change in egg production, egg weight, or egg yolk cholesterol content. The addition of the same levels of vanadium to one-day old male coturnix chicks did not cause any significant growth depression or mortality. We suggest that coturnix may be more resistant to vanadium toxicity than chickens.
在白来航蛋鸡的日粮中添加百万分之一百的钒，会使蛋壳厚度显著增加（p小于0.01），但对产蛋量、蛋重或蛋黄胆固醇含量没有造成任何显著变化。添加百万分之三百的钒会导致产蛋量严重下降，这是观察到的钒中毒的唯一症状。在鹌鹑日粮中添加百万分之五十、一百、二百或三百的钒，对产蛋量、蛋重或蛋黄胆固醇含量均未造成任何显著变化。在1日龄雄性鹌鹑雏鸡的日粮中添加相同水平的钒，未造成任何显著的生长抑制或死亡。我们认为，鹌鹑可能比鸡对钒中毒更具抗性。
