To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The results indicated that wild mallards, pen-reared mallards, and pen- reared black ducks were equally susceptible to lead poisoning at the dosage level used. Mortality was 100% for all dosed groups except the drake pen- reared mallards which had 95% mortality (Table 10) . Four control ducks in this test, two wild mallards and two drake black ducks, died from causes tinrelated to lead poisoning. These control wild mallards were the poorest of the lot and stress factors related to their austere... diet of whole corn and the long-distance shipment may have caused their death. These findings, which contrast with those of Bellrose, could have been caused by different shot retention rates. Our birds retained most of their shot whereas data were unavailable for Bellrose 's tests. A difference in shot retention could appreciably affect the mortality rate of his mallards. Toxicity of One Lead Shot, Size 4, among Mallards Jordan and Bellrose (1950) showed that the ingestion of a single lead pellet, size 6, would kill 60-80% of a group of captive wild mallard drakes.
