Abstract:
Death from fenitrothion intoxication in young broiler chicks has never been reported. The mortality in this instance was 16.4% in the first week. The dead birds were found lying in a ventral position resting their heads on the floor. Prior to death dyspnea and paralysis occurred. A concentration of 120 mg fenitrothion/kg of litter (dry weight) was found.
