Abstract

Ten-day-old mallard ducklings fed a polychlorinated biphenyl at concentrations of 25, 50, and 100 parts per million for 10 days suffered no apparent clinical intoxication. Five days later these birds were challenged with duck hepatitis virus, and they suffered significantly higher mortality than birds which were not exposed to the polychlorinated biphenyl.
