Effect of toxaphene on the performance of White Leghorn layers and their progeny.
An experiment involving 48 white leghorn layers fed 0, 10 and 100 p.p.m. of toxaphene has been conducted. Except for a slight decrease in egg production, no adverse effects on various performance parameters including fertility, hatchability and survival of progeny were observed. A significant increase (P less than .05) in average 7-day weights of progeny was noted.
