Abstract: The deleterious effects resulting from the ingestion of S. foetida oil by sexually immature pullets have been cited many times„ These generally include reduced growth, inhibition of egg production, and a lack of comb, ovary, and oviduct development. In this study each of six groups of 18 White Leg horn pullets was supplemented with S. foetida oil, and a seventh group of 18 pullets was supplemented with corn oil. Feeding of the oils by gelatin capsules was started at 15 weeks of age. At 23 weeks of age five of the six £. foetida oil fed groups were injected intramuscularly with one of the following hormones; 17-beta estradiol, pro gesterone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hor mone, and chorionic gonadotropin. The sixth group of £5. foetida oil fed pullets received no injections and the corn oil fed group was injected with propylene glycol. Hormone injections were given every other day for 18 days. Two days later six birds from each group were sacrificed and their ovary'-oyiduct weights were compared. Delayed sexual maturity caused by the feeding of S. foetida oil was not reversed or significantly altered by any.of the:hormones. In agreement with published
