“…The highest lipid adjusted concentration of dieldrin found in this study (98,790 ng/g lw), was approximately 860 times higher than the highest level measured in free-range chicken eggs from private owners in Belgium, at 115 ng/g lw (Van Overmeire et al, 2006). An exposure study in which penned pheasants were exposed to dieldrin revealed that only 19-37% of the administered dieldrin is excreted via the egg yolk (Lamb et al, 1967). The study concluded that dieldrin mainly accumulates in the fat of the mother bird and was slowly transferred to the eggs (Lamb et al, 1967).…”

“…These investigations are primarily meant to monitor levels of dioxins (polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/ PCDFs)), and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) in eggs from commercial and free-ranging chicken farms (EFSA 2012, De Vries et al, 2006Hsu et al, 2010;Kijlstra, 2004;Piskorska-Pliszczynska et al, 2014;Schoeters and Hoogenboom, 2006;van Overmeire et al, 2009). Other organochlorine contaminants (OCs) in chicken eggs have also been reported (Ahmad et al, 2010;Covaci et al, 2009;Lamb et al, 1967;Luzardo et al, 2013;Windal et al, 2009, Xu et al, 2014. In general, eggs from small farms or households are less monitored because the consumption of these kinds of eggs is restricted to the producer's family or local consumers (Arkenbout, 2014;Hoogenboom et al, 2014).…”

“…A two-generation trial in which technical dieldrin was fed to hen Pheasants Phasianus colchicus was carried out by Atkins and Linder (1967), Lamb, Linder and Greichus (1967) and Baxter, Linder and Dahlgren (1969). The concentrations of dieldrin in the eggs during the first breeding season were 15.7 ppm (hens given 4 mg dieldrin per week) or 33.6 ppm (hens given 6 mg dieldrin per week).…”

Robinson ONE OF OUR leading ecologists has stated that we live in a very explosive world (Elton, 1958). He was primarily interested in ecological explosions, but explosive situations, i.e. those in which there is a sudden bursting forth into activity, are also occurring in the technological and scientific fields. One example of a rapidly changing technology is the use of chemicals in agriculture since 1945, particularly for the purpose of controlling various pests. A bewildering variety of compounds has been investigated as acaricides, herbicides, fungicides, molluscicides, insecticides, nematicides, etc. Under the Agricultural Approval Scheme for example, there are about 130 synthetic chemicals, including 13 organochlorine compounds, 9 carbamates and 24 organophosphorus compounds. The widespread use of these compounds has given rise to concern

The toxicity of dieldrin (HEOD) to domestic fowl

Domestic fowl were fed control diet or diets containing 10 or 20 pg/g HEOD. Eggs and samples of blood were collected at intervals and the concentration of HEOD was determined. The concentrations of HEOD in body tissues were also determined after 7 and 13 months. Some of the birds died, but the health of the remainder appeared to be unaffected. The hens of the 20 parts/million group showed an increased egg production, but chick mortality in this group was higher than in the other two groups. The dynamics of HEOD in domestic fowl were qualitatively similar to that in other vertebrates and was consistent with the mamillary type compartmental model.
