Chlordane interachons with other agricultural chemicals are significant and merit additional research. In one study, male Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) pretreated for 8 weeks with 10 mg chlordane/kg diet had increased resistance to parathion, but not to paraoxon, as judged by cholinesterase activity (Ludke 1977). In another study, northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) treated with 10 mg chlordane/kg diet for 10 weeks, followed by endrin stress, had greater accumulations of chlordane in the brain than did birds treated only with chlordane (Ludke 1976).

Drinking water LC50 values were about 10 times higher (i.e., 10 times less toxic) than dietary LC50s for mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and common bobwhites (Colinus virginianus). However, both species of birds consumed 5 to 10 times more water than food on a daily mg/kg BW basis...
