The acute oral LD50 of oxamyl in bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus ), mallards ( Anas platyrhnchos ) and Japanese quail ( Coturnix c. japonica ) is 9.4, 2.6 and 4.3 mg/kg BW, respectively. The eight‐day dietary LC50 in bobwhite and mallards is 54 and 369 ppm, respectively. When Japanese quail consumed up to 33 mg oxamyl/kg BW/day over a 30‐day intermittent feeding period, no effects were evident. When bobwhite and rabbits were oversprayed with oxamyl under field conditions (three times at 3 pounds per acre), no clinical or gross pathological effects were produced.
