Determination of the Toxic Level of Dietary Mercury and Prediction of Mercury Intake and Tissue Mercury Concentrations in Broiler Chickens Using Feather Mercury Concentrations

SUMMARY: The current experiment was conducted to determine the toxic level of dietary mercury (Hg) and to predict Hg intake and tissue Hg concentrations in broiler chickens from feather Hg concentrations. A total of 800 3-d-old broiler chickens (400 male and 400 female birds) were allotted to one of...
