Distribution of Orally Administered Diethylhexyl Phthalate in Laying Hens
Abstract The distribution of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) administered to laying hens has been investigated. DEHP administered orally was detected in almost all organs and tissues of the laying hens. An especially high level of concentration was present in the adipose tissues and feathers. The shift of DEHP from skin to feather was suggested.
