Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the impact of radiation emitted by third-generation Huawei mobile phones operating at a 900 MHz radio frequency put inside the hatchery on hatching, behavioral and some blood changes of quail embryos, A total of 632 fresh fertilized Japanese quail chicks eggs were put into two hatchery is a separated room, control group without any phone exposure (n=456) and The second group, consisting of 176 samples, was subjected to mobile phone radiation exposure. In this setup, the mobile phone was strategically positioned at the center, directly above the eggs, and called 15 minutes every 6 hours (60min/24hr), Eggs were left until hatching, the incubation period, hatchability %, weight of one day newly hatched quails and social and fear behavioral tests were performed at 3 days after hatching and the blood samples collected from quail. The obtained result, illustrated that, a significant increase in the dead embryos %, cortisol level, more time in belongingness, aggregation, and fear behavior while, a significant decrease in hatchability%, incubation period, total protein, total albumin, globulin and serum phosphorous level period in exposed group than the control group.
