RESUMO
Thirty quails [80-100 g b. wt.] were divided into two groups to determine thenutritional and clinicopathological changes induced by 1% copper oxychloride. Blood samples were collected for determination of hemoglobin, PCV and somebiochemical blood parameters. Liver and kidney weight were increased and wereassociated with clinicopathological changes. Microbiological examination,revealed presence of Strept. pyogens, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli andanthracoids. A significant decrease in the value of Hb, PCV and iron wasdetected. There was significant increase in levels of ALT, AST, urea,creatinine, sodium, potassium, glucose, copper, cortisol hormone and insulinin treated groups in comparison with the control groups. Post-mortemexamination of scarified quails revealed hyperemia of internal organs [kidneyand liver]
