Abstract:
The effects of magnetic field of the intensity 0.07 T on embryonic mortality of chicken were studied. Embryonic mortality in eggs exposed to the magnetic field during their incubation was higher (14.28 +/- 3.14%; 18.57 +/- 4.03% resp. 18.95 +/- 3.77%). In comparison with the control group (1.57 +/- 0.97%) all results were significantly different (p < 0.001). The negative effect of the magnetic field manifested also by the lower weight of the hatched chickens (33.58 +/- 2.07 g; 33.09 +/- 3.73 g resp. 31.17 +/- 4.21 g) when compared with the control group (40.80 +/- 5.12 g) (p < 0.05).
