Response of Broiler Chicks to a Single Dose of Aflatoxin

Poultry Science, 1972
Abstract 270, day-old broiler chicks (Peterson×Peterson) were divided into 5 groups of 54 birds. Each group was composed of 27 males and 27 females. The five groups of birds received crude aflatoxin administered directly into the gizzard, in doses of 0.0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6, and 3.2 mg./kg. body weight, respectively of aflatoxin B1 equivalents.
