摘要: Abstract Mercury in the form of mercuric chloride when added to drinking water at level 250 p.p.m. or greater significantly depressed growth and livability young broiler cockerels as well increased feed efficiency-ratios these chicks. Doses lower than (5, 25, 125 p.p.m.) did not depress growth, cause mortality, increase efficiencies. It would appear that doses mercury causes toxic symptoms
