Methylparathion an organophosphates insecticide was tested for its embryotoxicity in chicks. Different concentrations of the insecticide ranging from 1.00 to 10.00 mug/egg were injected into the yolk sac of chick eggs at day 4 of incubation. All treated embryos were reduced significantly (P less than 0.00 in CR length on day 7 of incubation. Besides a higher embryonic mortality, the survivors had sever gross malformations including microcephaly, anophthalmia, micromelia, twisted spinal cord and ectopia cardis.
