Cooking is a means of reducing quantities of such chemicals present, whole or in parts, Mature chicken parts were cooked by slowing and pressure to deter mine the extent ingested and how deposited levels of organoehlorinc material might be changed. The more severe cooking method, pres sure, produced greater cooking losses. Cooking losses in descending 38 order by piece of chicken was (1 ) adipose tissue, (2) thigh skin, (3) thigh meal and (4) drumstick or (5) breast. Based on wet weight, the level o( PCB in chicken parts wore sig nificantly reduced by pressure cook ing. When solids from broth were considered, PCB levels were re duced similarly as parts based on wet weight. Raw chicken pieces had levels of PCB higher than cooked ones. Cook ing rendered out PCB along with the fat. When PCB levels were determined from fat samples, the concentration by parts in descending order were (1 ) drumsticks (2) thigh meat (3) adipose tissue and (4) breast.

Toxic symptoms were not observed, nor was body weight, mortality or feed efficiency significantly affected. Maximum levels of PCB (TOO ppm i appeared in carcasses from the group receiving 10 ppm to eight weeks of age.
