| Abstract: | The effects of feeding a diet containing gamma-BHC at a level of 200 mg/kg on various aspects of egg production and egg shell quality of the Japanese quail were studied. No adverse effects were observed on rate or pattern of egg production, egg size, shell thickness, calcium content, shearing strength or structure as seen through the scanning electron microscope. |
