“…Aldrin and dieldrin occurred in 55 % ofthe feed samples from farms with enclosed hens. Compared with the egg-to-feed accumulation ratios reported in feeding experiments, however (Kan and Tunistra 1976), the present accumulation ratios were much higher, especially those for the free-range hens. This supports the previous argument that the feed samples obtained from farms with free-range hens represented only part of the chicken feed, and that the chickens could pick up additional feed, eg worms and insects, in the environment.…”
