The response of the male domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus) to alpha-chlorohydrin treatment.
Sexually mature male cockerels were treated with low and high doses of alpha-chlorohydrin for up to 30 days. Neither gross nor histological lesions were produced by the drug, and sodium, potassium and acid phosphatase levels in the testicular fluid and ductus deferential plasma were not significantly altered. All the cockerels given low doses remained fertile.
