Description:   The toxic effects of copper on Japanese quail were investigated by studying the impact of dietary copper sulphate on fluid consumption and body weight.  High levels of copper sulphate intake were found to increase mortality.  There was no effect on cold tolerance.  The target organs for copper toxicity were identified as the gizzard, kidney, ceca, and blood urea nitrogen.
