Abstract
EVER since the development and sale of various chemical compounds for the control of ectoparasites of poultry, research workers have been concerned with the effects of these materials on performance and on the processed products from such treated poultry.Marsden and Bird (1947) showed that DDT ingested by turkeys was stored and concentrated in the fat of the bird. Roberts and Peterson (1947) concluded that benzene hexachloride was not detrimental to poultry in any way. Rubin et al. (1947) reported the presence of DDT in both eggs and body fat of hens fed this material. Edgar and King (1948) tested several chemicals, including organic hydrocarbon insecticides, against the body louse. They stated that egg production was not affected. Neither could they find objectionable flavor or odor in eggs from hens treated with benzene hexachloride and sulfur. Telford (1947) found no evidence to indicate that a 1.27 percent gamma benzene hexachloride-fuel …
