title: [Effects of gamma-irradiation on broiler-6 and Leghorn chicken].
abstract: The influence of various doses of external radiation to survive, growth and productivity of hybrid broiler and egg-laying leghorn chicken was studied in comparative aspect. It was found that broiler radio-resistanse is 1.5 times higher than that of leghorns: LD50/30 of 10-days broilers is equal to 16.3 +/- 0.7 Gy, while LD50/30 of 10-days leghorns is equal to 11.0 +/- 0.9 Gy.
