<![CDATA[Free-range chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) are characterized by diverse plumage patterns and colors. They produce both fertile and infertile eggs; a fertile egg contains an embryo capable of hatching after a 21-day incubation period. The period between days 3 and 7 of incubation constitutes the organogenesis phase, a stage particularly susceptible to developmental abnormalities. Such abnormalities can arise if the embryo is exposed to teratogens such as ibuprofen, which inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes. This study aimed to examine the effects of ibuprofen on free-range chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) embryos during the 3-day incubation period. An experimental method employing a Completely Randomized Design was used, involving a control group and two treatment groups exposed to different ibuprofen concentrations. The results indicate that ibuprofen exposure affected embryo length, heart rate, body size, and the completeness of embryonic limbs.]]>
