Serum alpha-amylase (S alpha A) activities were examined in a non-selected population (NS) of Japanese quail and in two lines genetically selected for resistance to aflatoxin. Normal S alpha A activities of both selected lines were significantly lower than that of the NS line (P less than or equal to 0.05). An oral dose of 2.5 mg aflatoxin/kg body weight significantly lowered S alpha A activity in NS quails after...
