Abstract
Organic silicon compounds in which silicon is solely bonded to oxygen, fluorine, chlorine or bromine such that not less than one-fourth of the silicon valences are satisfied by bonding to oxygen, stimulate the deposition of bone in bird embryos. Preferred birds are domestic fowl, such as chickens and turkeys. The silicon compounds are administered to the bird eggs by such means as injecting the eggs, or spraying or soaking them.
