Effect Of Prudhoe Bay Crude Oil On Hatching Success And Associated Changes In The Pipping Muscle (ilusculus Complexus) In Embryos Of Domestic Chickens (gallus Gallus)
Fertile White Leghorn chicken eggs were exposed to 0,1,2,4,6,8, and 16 ~L of Prudhoe Bay Crude oil (PBCO) on day 9 of incubation. The effects of oil on percentage pipping, percentage hatchability, body weight gains post hatching, serum creatine kinase and pathological changes in the pipping (hatchin...
