Abstract
Mercury at a concentration of 250 p.p.m. or greater in the drinking water of young cockerels depressed growth at five weeks and caused a high level of mortality. The relative weights of the heart and adrenals were increased after five weeks of treatment. At this same time the relative weights of the liver, spleen, and bursa of Fabricius were decreased. Five and 14 weeks of continuous high dosage of mercury did not alter the relative total testes weight, although a significant depression was found after 16 weeks of this treatment.
