Abstract Preliminary results of an experiment designed to
study the behaviour of chickens continuously exposed to microwave radiation show
no adverse effect on the laying rate, feed efficiency, height
of peak production, albumen quality, shell thickness, fertility,
hatchability, water consumption, and mortality. The data suggest that, under
the experimental conditions described, continuous microwave radiation might
have some beneficial effects on chickens. These effects are being explored
further as the study continues.
