Abstract
A study was made of the response of the burro to fractional Co60 gamma-ray whole body irradiation. The response is similar to that observed in other animal species after irradiation. A pronounced hyperferremia was observed in the burro 1 hour after completion of the 1st 400 r exposure, and this condition increased up to the 6th irradiation day. Plasma -iron values were elevated significantly in most animals prior to exitus.Keywords
