Th toxic effects of several mercury seed dressings on 10 wk old leghorn cocks were studied. The mercury compounds included mercury nitrate, methyl mercury hydroxide, methoxyethyl mercury hydroxide and phenyl mercury hydroxide. Approximate lethal dosage for a single intravenous injection was obtained and the effects of both high- and low-concentration mercury diets were studied.
