Abstract: A study was conducted to determine the acute toxic effects of Endosulfan 35 EC (Endocel) in Japanese quails by oral gavage and through dietary admixture. The acute oral LD₅₀ value of Endosulfan 35 EC (Endocel) by gavage was determined to be 141 mg kg^-1 b.wt. (equivalent to 46 mg kg^-1 b.wt. of Endosulfan active ingredient) with fiducial limits of 56 and 171. The Acute Dietary LC₅₀ value of Endosulfan 35 EC (Endocel) was 3590 mg kg^-1 (which is equivalent to 1197 mg kg^-1 b.wt. of Endosulfan active ingredient) with fiducial limits of 2563-6925. Endosulfan was relatively more toxic (LD₅₀ 41 mg kg^-1) by the oral gavage administration when compared to the dietary route (LC₅₀ 3569 mg kg^-1).
