Summary

In consequence of treatment of bird's eggs with DDT, before the incubation, a strong reduction of gonadic germ stocking is observed. However, at the 24 (chick) and 18 (quail) stage of embryonic development, the germ deficit is lower than at older stages: 29 (chick) and 20 (quail). The pesticide provokes a significant decrease in the mitotic activity and some pycnotic hypertrophy of several gonocytes. DDT acts already at the earliest stages of development.
