Abstract
We have examined alcohol-induced malformation of chick embryo. Alcohol was considered to induce the malformation of developing embryo and to have bad effects on embryonic stage. We injected alcohol into air sac on day 4 of incubation. Ten ％ alcohol-treated group showed a little decrease on their body length compared to the untreated group and distilled water-treated group. Thirty ％ alcohol-treated group showed significant decrease on their body length compared to the untreated group and 10％ ethanol treated group. In addition, we have observed malformation of eyeballs and bills. These results indicate that alcohol affects chicken developments and brings on malformation of developing stage.
