6873530 Abdo KM, Timmons PR, Graham DG, Abou-Donia MB: Heinz body production and hematological changes in the hen after administration of a single oral dose of n-butyl mercaptan and n-butyl disulfide. Fundam Appl Toxicol. 1983 Mar-Apr;3(2):69-74.

As the clinical condition of these hens improved, these hematologic changes disappeared. nBM caused an initial increase in plasma butyrylcholinesterase activity which was dose-dependent and returned to normal by the end of the 28-day experiment.
n-Butyl mercaptan (nBM) is a breakdown product of S,S,S,-tri-n-butyl phosphorotrithioate (DEF) and S,S,S-tri-n-butyl phosphorotrithioite (merphos) in hens and in the environment. n-Butyl disulfide (nBD) is an oxidation product of nBM.
