Cadmium (Cd) is a dangerous heavy metal that non-degradable in the environment. Many organs can accumulate Cd and adversely affect organ function health. considered as teratogenic embryotoxic agent. This study aims to evaluate teratogenicity of at concentrations lesser than permissible its effects on heart during chick embryogenesis. Fertilized eggs Gallus domesticus were divided into; control, saline injected four experimental groups with single doses 5, 25, 50 or 75 µM CdCl
