Prior to onset of the breeding season, a ration containing 18.4 mg/kg N-(Ethylmercuri)-p-toluene sulphonanilide was fed to 6 male and 16 female ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus). Birds receiving the mercury-treated ration were separated from the opposite sex. After receiving the mercury-treated ration for 0, 2, 4, 8, or 16 days, previously selected pheasants were removed from the pens and placed in another pen with pheasants of opposite sex not fed the mercury-treated ration. Eight groups of two males and four females were studied. Effects of the mercury-treated ration on production, weight, fertility, hatchability, and shell thickness of eggs laid by ring-necked pheasants, and sex ratios, post-hatch survival, and weight of chicks hatched from those eggs were evaluated.
