A critique of the avian 5-day dietary test (LC50) as the basis of avian risk assessment / P. Mineau, B. Jobin, A. Baril.: CW69-5/215E-PDF
"Avian dietary toxicity tests determine the median lethal concentration (LC50) of a chemical defined as the quantity of toxicant in the diet calculated to kill fifty percent of the test population. The U.S. EPA (1985) protocol is considered the 'industry standard'. The test consists of feeding young birds with a contaminated diet for 5 days followed by a 3-day recovery period during which birds are fed a clean diet"--Introd.
