The Effect of Crimidin on Reproduction in Hens

Abstract

The use of rodenticides as cereal baits involves the risk of intoxications of birds. The question as to whether the daily administration of sublethal doses of the B6-antagonistic crimidin would influence reproduction in hens has been investigated in two experimental series.
