Abstract
The cause of embryonic thyroidal enlargement in the progeny of chickens fed goitrogenic rapeseed meal (RSM) was investigated. Eggs from birds fed RSM were low in I. The low concentration of I in the eggs of the goitrous birds was apparently due to diversion of a large proportion of the circulating I into the thyroid glands with the result that the amounts reaching the developing ova were reduced.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
