The impact of acute one time injection (45 minutes after) of Pb acetate (100 mg/kg. i.m) in the speed of falling in shallow hypothermy (upto 35 0C) and spontaneous warm up until euthermy (41.5 – 420 C), was followed in Hybro Brown chicken (N=16, six weeks old). After eight individual measurements, it was observed that in comparison to control group chickens, Pb acetate hastens the period of falling in hypothermy for 1.14 min (P<0.01) and prolongs the time of spontaneous warm up of cold body until euthermy for 14 min (P<0.01). The circadial rhythm (at 8 am and 7 pm) of intravital stain intensity in liver, kidney, heart and brain of chicken (N= 28), five days after injection of Pb acetate (dose 100 mg/kg. i.m) was followed as well. The findings show that in comparison to the control group of chickens, this heavy metal increases the intensity of intravital stain in these organs, but not significantly (P>0.05). There was no circadial rhythm (P>0.05) regarding intensity of intravital staining in these organs depending on the time of day when this heavy metal was applied
