Extract

An insignificant short-term increase in the natural dose of ionizing radiation during the embryogenesis period is beneficial not only for the embryonic development of the chicks, but also for their postembryonic growth and development as well as the egg production of the pullets.

Irradiation of incubated eggs with microdoses of radioactive radiations is another possibility for the utilization of atomic energy bringing about an improvement in the economically useful properties of poultry.
