Toxicity of Ingested Bismuth Alloy Shot in Game-farm Mallards: Acute Toxicity of Ingested Bismuth Alloy Shot in Game-farm Mallards
In a 30-day study involving penned game-farm mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), no harmful health effects
were detected from dosing with either six, No. 4, bismuth/tin (Bi/Sn) alloy shot or six, No. 4, steel (Fe)
shot, as compared with sham (0 shot) dosing. Survival, hematocrit (Hct) values, body weight, and
mean weights of kidneys, livers, gonads, and gizzards were not affected. Mean concentrations of
nutritionally essential elements (calcium [Ca], phosphorous [P], magnesium [Mg], zinc [Zn], copper
[Cu], Fe, and Sn) were different among doses and between sexes in kidneys, livers, and gonads.
However, concentrations of these elements in these organs and tissues in Bi-dosed ducks were not
different from both 0- and Fe-dosed ducks. Bi/Sn alloy shot, as tested in this study, elicited no
indications of toxicity in game-farm mallard ducks.published or submitted for publicationis peer reviewe

Toxicity of Ingested Bismuth Alloy Shot in Game-farm Mallards: Chronic Health Effects and Effects on Reproduction
In a 150-day study, we tested for chronic toxicity and effects on reproduction of bismuth/tin (Bi/Sn)
alloy shot dosed in game-farm mallards (Anas platyrhynchos). Histopathology of livers, kidneys,
gonads, hearts, and lungs showed no significant group-related differences among 0-dosed (controls),
iron (Fe)-dosed (8, No. 4, steel shot), and Bi-dosed (8, No. 4, Bi/Sn alloy shot) adult ducks or among
ducklings from pairs of these dosed groups. Bi shot, under our test conditions, did not elicit toxicity
in mallard ducks or affect their reproduction or offspring.published or submitted for publicationis peer reviewe
