Background: Chlorfenapyr is a pro-insecticide. Chlorfenapyr actually belongs to the class of pyrrole family of insecticide that is mostly used against termites and mites. Chlorfenapyr has also been reported to impart a fatal effect against field populations of certain species. Material Methods: Fertilized eggs of golden comets were collected and divided into five groups i.e., one control group and four treated groups. Different concentrations of chlorfenapyr in treated groups as 6.2μL, 37μL, 62μL, and 125μL respectively. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that chlorfenapyr has a significant teratogenic potential on chick embryos because it caused abortion and inhibits the growth as well as development of chick embryos.
