Lead (Pb) is an environmental pollutant, especially due to its
anthropogenic activity.The present study aimed to investigate some
of the toxic effects of lead exposure in quails and its
amelioration through vitamin E supplementation. A total number of
420, day old chicks of Japanese quail were assigned seven dietary
treatments.. Control group received only basal diet without any
supplementation. Other groups received lead (Pb) alone or in
different combinations with vitamin E. Lead (Pb) was administered
in the feed at a dose level of 50, 75 and 100 mg/kg Pb. Vitamin E
was administered in the feed at a dose level of 40mg/kg vit E .The
body weight of each bird was weighed weekly and found significant
changes in the weight of quails. Pathological lesions in lead (Pb)
fed birds included enlarged, pale, friable liver and swollen
kidneys.On the other hand, supplementation of vitamins E in lead
intoxicated birds showed ameliorative effects in Lead (pb)
toxicity. It was concluded that the vitamin E ameliorated the lead
induced toxic effects in some of parameters studied
